    Minecraft launcher is unable to log in to my microsoft (xbox) account


    So, I've been having this problem for a few days already. It's already reported on multiple threads but out of all the solutions that "worked", none worked for me.

    The problem follows:

    - I open the minecraft launcher. It takes absurdly long to load, sometimes even hitting 2 minutes. Once loaded, I get this message in red in the top right: "Sorry! We were unable to get your account information. Please restart your launcher."

    - Sometimes it's able to get through after a while and XBOX shows my account. I press "Let's Play!", but it results in a message saying: "You're not connected to the internet. Check your network connection and try again." Keep in mind that I have no network issues with anything other than this.

    I have tried pretty much everything to fix it:

    - Uninstall and reinstall (Launcher, XBOX app, Microsoft Store)

    - Reset, repair and troubleshoot

    - Restarting computer and network

    - Updating computer

    - Putting XBOX services in "services.msc" from "manual" to "automatic"

    - Using Windows Antivirus, checking firewall permissions

    - Entering "netsh winhttp reset proxy" in cmdprompt

    - Using old launchers and third party launchers (only Badlion has worked for me)

    - Using no VPN

    It seems like a pretty deep problem, and in very rare occasions it manages to log me in, although it usually results in the minecraft launcher not being able to connect to services or a replacement of the "Play" button to "Play Demo" (I have a legit account for Java ed.)

    However, there was one fix that worked but didn't last long. I logged into the minecraft site on the browser and kept it open, opened the XBOX app (which took ages aswell) and launched minecraft from there. It logged me in. The whole process did take me more than 10 minutes just to be able to press "play".

    I'm here as a last resort. Any clue?

    :)

    Minecraft Windows 10 edition not installing

    Search for ''Minecraft Launcher'' in the Xbox app, install, log in with your Microsoft account on the launcher, select Minecraft For Windows and install.

    Lost token

    Hi there Racca R.

    I am Lumie and I would love to assist you today.

    I am so sorry you are having issues with your Minecraft launcher token.

    The token you deleted is likely a session token used by the Minecraft launcher to authenticate your account without requiring you to log in every time. Deleting this token means the launcher can't verify your credentials automatically, which is why you're unable to play.

    The simplest solution is to reauthenticate your account by logging in again. Here's how to do it:

    Open the Minecraft Launcher: Start the Minecraft launcher you usually use.
    Log Out: If you're not already logged out, log out from your current session. You can usually find this option in the launcher settings or by clicking on your profile icon.
    Log In Again: Enter your Minecraft (Mojang/Microsoft) account email and password. This will generate a new session token, allowing you to play the game.

    Ensure that you have the correct email and password for your Minecraft account. If you've forgotten your password, you can reset it:

    Mojang Accounts: Go to the Mojang account login page and use the "Forgot Password" feature.
    Microsoft Accounts: If you’ve migrated to a Microsoft account, go to the Microsoft account login page and use the "Forgot Password" feature.

    Ensure that your Minecraft launcher is up-to-date. Sometimes, outdated software can cause authentication issues. You can download the latest version of the launcher from the official Minecraft website.

    You can also reinstall the launcher.

    I hope this helps!

    Let me know if I can be of any further assistance. -Lumie
