Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues accessing the Minecraft Launcher.

I apologize for the inconvenienced this has caused you. I will do my best to help you.

Please restart the Launcher by closing the Minecraft Launcher completely and reopen it because a simple restart resolves temporary glitches.

And then sign out and sign back in. To do this, log out of your Microsoft account in the Launcher, then log back in. This can refresh your session and fix account-related issues.

Next is to update the Launcher. Make sure that you are using the latest version of the Minecraft Launcher. You can check for updates in the Microsoft Store or on the official Minecraft website.

Then repair the Launcher. Go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps.

Find the Minecraft Launcher, click the three dots, and select Advanced Options.

Please choose repair.

After that is to check Internet connection. Kindly ensure that you have a stable internet connection because connectivity issues can prevent the Launcher from functioning properly.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Hello Aditya_Kumar_506, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

to fix the problem First, make sure your Internet connection is working properly. If your Internet connection is slow or unstable, this may cause problems loading Minecraft.

If your Internet connection is working properly, try closing Minecraft Launcher and restarting it. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft Launcher. You can also try updating your graphics drivers and making sure your system meets the game's minimum requirements.

Best regards.

Is this a question? If you have to buy it again, it's probably more like $27.90 than $279. You shouldn't have to buy it again. The problem I encountered is that the Windows 10 edition of Minecraft was not able to connect to the Internet for some reason. Because it could not connect to the Internet, the account I purchased could not be associated with my login credentials. The solution for me, was to download and use the Windows 7/8 launcher instead of the Windows 10 launcher. For whatever reason, that version of the launcher was able to connect to the Internet, and therefore to verify and associate my previously purchased account.
