Hello, thanks for responding, when i open the minecraft launcher and go to java edition it says trial game.

try the instructions from above

• Start the launcher, and open up the launcher options
  
• Navigate to Launch Options and find the “Java executable” option and un-check it
  
• Save settings, this will ensure the launcher runs with default runtime it came with.
  
• Open launcher again and try launching the game
  

If this fails then best to go to the minecraft.net forums for assistance.

Thanks for sharing this information. Are you trying to play the Minecraft for Windows or the Java edition?

Are you using the Windows 10/11 launcher or the Windows 7/8 launcher?

And have you tried to open the Minecraft program from the Start menu instead of using the Launcher?

Waiting for your follow-up!
