Minecraft Launcher Updates on Each Launch

Hello, I'm Felipe and I'm an independent Community Advisor, and I'll do my best to help you.

After researching the issue, it seems that the Minecraft launcher is designed to check for and apply any available updates each time the launcher is opened. However, there are a couple of potential workarounds that may help:

1. Use the "Play Offline" feature: When the launcher opens, click on the "Play Offline" button in the lower-left corner. This should allow you to bypass the update check and play Minecraft on the last version you played.

2. Use OptiFine: OptiFine is a mod that includes its own Minecraft launcher. By using OptiFine to launch Minecraft, you can avoid the Minecraft launcher altogether and play on the version of Minecraft that OptiFine is currently set to.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

You can download OptiFine from the official OptiFine website: [https://optifine.net/downloads](https://optifine.net/downloads)

Same here can't play. When I try to launch the launcher it updates 3 quarters then gives me an error saying "Unable to Update Minecraft Native Launcher"

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues with Minecraft Bedrock not launching.

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

Please end task in task manager. To do this, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager. Locate Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) in the list. Right-click it and select End Task. Restart the launcher and try again.

And then run Minecraft as administrator because permissions issues might be preventing it from launching properly.

Right-click the Minecraft Launcher shortcut. Select Run as Administrator.

Launch Minecraft Bedrock again.

Next is to reset the Minecraft Launcher going to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps. Find Minecraft Launcher, click the three dots (⋮), and select Advanced Options. Scroll down and click Reset.

Restart your PC and launch Minecraft again.

Then check for Windows updates because an outdated system files might cause game launch issues. Please go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. Click Check for Updates and install any pending updates.

After that is to verify and repair Minecraft. To do this, open the Microsoft Store.

Go to Library > Installed Apps. Find Minecraft Bedrock Edition, click Manage > Verify and Repair Files.

Wait for the repair process to complete, then launch the game once again.

If Discord detects Minecraft running but it won’t show, possible that other apps might be interfering. Close unnecessary applications before launching Minecraft.

Kindly disable Discord overlays by going to Discord Settings > Game Overlay and turn it off.

Once done performing the troubleshooting steps and still the issue persist, please uninstall Minecraft. Redownload and install Minecraft Bedrock from Minecraft.net: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Thank you for the update!

I suggest signing out of the Xbox app and signing back in before trying the launch the game again. If that doesn't work, then signing out of the Minecraft launcher and signing back in before trying to launch the game.

Also, can you verify which version of Minecraft you are playing? Is it Java or Bedrock?

If you're playing Java, you can try downloading the alternative download from the Minecraft website here: Minecraft Alternative Downloads | Minecraft. Uninstall your current launcher before installing the new one and launching it.

Thank You,
