Hi there Stone welcome to the community forum! Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and has been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Well have you checked the minimum requirements for the game? Unfortunately I think that might be the issue here:

This is for the 1.16 version and unfortunately for the 1.18 the game has gotten bigger, so the minimum specs have changed, I suggest contacting Mojang for more information about the specs!

Hello 지후 이,

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble running Minecraft on your computer. The error message you're seeing indicates that there may be an issue with your graphics driver. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Update your graphics driver: Go to the website of your graphics card manufacturer and download the latest driver for your graphics card. Install the driver and restart your computer.

2. Reinstall Minecraft: Uninstall Minecraft from your computer and then reinstall it from the official Minecraft website.

3. Allocate more memory to Minecraft: Open the Minecraft launcher, click on "Installations", select the installation you want to allocate more memory to, click on "More Options", and then increase the "JVM Arguments" value to allocate more memory to Minecraft.

no, I've tried logging microsoft.com and minecraft.net from my phone, and it doesn't work either. I've tried to log in minecraft with my laptop and computer, and they just don't work.
