    I have the same issue and not working deleting profile.json file. The problem is that when i start minecraft launcher, the launcher and the microsoft store open at same time but microsoft store glitches and only can be closed after closing minecraft launcher with Task Manager or reseting the computer.

    looks like you need to renew gold

    Hi John,

    I purchased Minecraft Java Edition from Mojang a long time ago. I've recently migrated my Mojang Account with my Microsoft Account that has an expired Game Pass on it. When I try to open the Minecraft Launcher an error message appears stating "looks like you need to renew gold" and when I click close the Minecraft Launcher closes.

    Any Advice?

    Cheers,

    minecraft for windows 10 not working

    You are right clicking the shortcut to the launcher, not the launcher itself.

    On the shortcut, please right click on it, then choose "Open file location".

    You will then be shown the actual Minecraft Launcher program.

    Minecraft launcher won't open if Minecraft is already running.

    I have the same issue, sometimes wanting to open a second client for my another minecraft account but have to close my running game to be able to re-open the launcher !

    Boring as hell ... please help fixing it (as LuckyVahin201 in the past I was able to open the launcher without closing the game)

    If I buy Minecraft on the Minecraft site, do I also have to buy the $20.00 xbox version ontop of the minecraft version to play it?

    To restart Minecraft, follow these steps:

    For Java Edition (PC)

    1. Close Minecraft completely
      • Click the X in the top right of the game window.
      • If it's stuck, open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), find Minecraft Launcher or Java (TM) Platform SE binary, and click End Task.
    2. Close and restart the Minecraft Launcher
      • Click the X on the launcher to close it.
      • Reopen the Minecraft Launcher and log in again if needed.
    3. Restart your PC (optional but helpful)
      • If you're still having issues, restart your computer.
    For Bedrock Edition (Windows 10/11 from Microsoft Store)

    1. Close Minecraft
      • Click the X or use Alt + F4 to force close.
    2. Restart the game
      • Open the Start Menu, type "Minecraft," and click on Minecraft for Windows.
    3. If issues persist, restart your PC
    Let me know if you need more help!
