Hi, Jenna. I appreciate you trying the steps. If the issue still persists, it would be best to coordinate with Minecraft team again since it’s an issue with the launcher. The Minecraft launcher on MS store will only work on Windows 10 or 11. Sorry

I then went to the Microsoft store and installed Minecraft for windows only, without the launcher. Once it was installed I could then install the launcher without issue and launch the game

Hello Gavyn [Goopi],

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



We understand that you are trying to play Minecraft with all of your modification, and it is crashing. If official Minecraft Launcher will launch with no issues, then adding modification should result no issues too.

Should you face issues with Minecraft Launcher you may try the troubleshooting here: Minecraft Launcher Troubleshooting FAQ | Minecraft Help.



If official Minecraft Launcher works, then you may want to consider reaching out to the Forge community or posting on their forums for further assistance.
