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

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

Hi King, I hope you are well.

Please check these steps.

If you are unable to access Minecraft: Java Edition after purchasing, it is essential to verify that the Microsoft account used for the purchase is being used correctly in the game launcher. Make sure you are logging in with the same credentials and also verify that the purchase was actually recorded in the purchase history in the Microsoft account.

Steps to verify:

1. Verify the account:

Make sure you are logging in to the Minecraft Launcher with the correct Microsoft account.

If the account is not associated with the purchase, you will need to reset the account and try again.

2. Check the purchase history:

Go to account.microsoft.com and log in to your Microsoft account.

Go to "Payment & billing" > "Order history" and verify that the Minecraft purchase is listed.

3. Reset applications:

Sign out of the Minecraft Launcher, Xbox and Microsoft Store.

Reset apps in Windows Settings:

Go to "Apps" and select "Advanced options."

Choose "Reset" for Minecraft Launcher, Xbox, and Microsoft Store.

Restart your PC and try again.

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
