minecraft launcher updating for long time every time.

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today Bazman

May I know in which device are you experiencing this issue?

On Xbox or PC?

Also, please let me know which troubleshooting steps you have done so far

Omg thank u I had a error similar to that where every time I try to open the new Minecraft windows launcher it opens MICROSOFT store and won’t let me use the launcher tab

Is it possible to play minecraft dungeons and miencraft java in the launcher (The new one) without having to change your account every time on xbox? Because in the new launcher, working with multiple Microsoft accounts has become annoying.

Hi there! This is Virginia O.

I understand that you are experiencing issues logging into the Minecraft Launcher.

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

Please update the Minecraft Launcher. Make sure that you're using the latest version of the launcher. You can download the latest version from the official Minecraft website.

And then repair and reset the Launcher by going to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features. Find the Minecraft Launcher, click on it, and select "Advanced options."

Choose "Repair" first. If that doesn't work, try "Reset."

Next is to sign in via Xbox App. To do this, open the Xbox app on your PC and sign in with your Microsoft account there. Then, please launch Minecraft again.

Then check Time and region settings. Go to Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time. Make sure your time and region settings are correct and set to update automatically.

After that is to reset the Microsoft Store by pressing Windows + R, type wsreset.exe, and press Enter. This will reset the Microsoft Store cache.

Kindly disable any background apps or overlays (e.g., Discord, NVIDIA GeForce Experience) that might interfere with the launcher.

If the issue persist after performing the troubleshooting steps, please uninstall the Minecraft Launcher completely, restart your PC, and then reinstall it from the official website.

Thank you for your cooperation.

If your router is close to your system it will help to plug it directly in instead of trying to go over wifi. Some of the games are pretty large.
