Minecraft launcher won't let me log in

inspiresun · Jun 3, 2025 at 1:32 AM

I accidentally deleted a few things from my computer to clear up space, I didn't realize I had also deleted a couple important things. A few games got deleted, but minecraft was still on my computer. However, when I open minecraft launcher and click on the microsoft log in button it stays on that page and doesn't open anything at all. I have tried resetting the app, deleting it, resetting and updating my computer, deleting a few more things for storage in case it was a storage problem and so far nothing has worked at all. I am not able to play minecraft java, is there any way to fix this?

If Minecraft won't open after signing in to Microsoft, try repairing the launcher, clearing cached account tokens, restarting your computer and game services, and checking for Windows and graphics card driver updates. If the problem persists, uninstall and reinstall the launcher.

I open the minecraft launcher, log into my account, and then doesn’t let me play minecraft, i can use the minecraft launcher in the xbox app using gamepass, but cannot play minecraft

So I just got a brand new computer and this is my first time having a pc with Windows 11. I have turned off all of my firewalls (Private internet Access specifically) And i also went into window's security and let the minecraft installer be an exception to the firewall. When I click microsoft login two fairies just fly around in circles forever. My internet is 100% fine. This is the only time I have ever had this issue before so I am just assuming it is Windows 11. How am I supposed to fix this exactly? Already went into apps and terminated the program, reset, and repaired it 5 times.

Okay so I somehow managed to fix it with a reddit post. I pulled up windows power shell as administrator and first put in

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

to delete xbox gaming services. Then I reinstalled it with

start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

also in windows powershell.
