The Minecraft launcher startup-delay is unacceptable

Make sure you are already signed in to the Microsoft Store, the Xbox app and the Xbox Console Companion app with the same account you are trying to use in the launcher.

Press Control-Shift-Escape to call up Task Manager.

See if you can see “Minecraft Launcher” running in Processes tab.

If so, right click Launcher process and choose “End Task”

Also make sure that antivirus software isn’t getting in the way of startup.

Hello Joshua,

Let me help you with your concern today. Please note that this is a public forum, I will be responding to you in short period of time and I apologize for a delay in response. As I am merely a user trying to provide insight and information that may be helpful.

You seem to be using the Legacy Launcher which is the old version and does not support Minecraft Bedrock. Please try downloading the latest Minecraft Launcher. You can download it from here https://www.xbox.com/games/store/Minecraft-Laun...

If you have the Xbox app installed in your PC, you can also install Minecraft Launcher in there.

After installing the Minecraft Launcher, please try to check if you will have the same issue accessing Minecraft Bedrock. Check if your multiplayer works now too.

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns about this.

Hey Carlos,

Firstly, sorry for my delayed reply, been trying to find some leads on whether or not this is caused by the Permission issue you mentioned, or a game issue and I haven't gotten any certain clarity as of yet. Could you show what happens when you try to download via the Minecraft Launcher what happens? Or if you can't download the Minecraft Launcher, can you show, in the Microsoft Store what it says when you try?

Thank you,

John

Sorry to hear your son is having trouble with the Minecraft Launcher. Please try the steps below to see if it will help fix the not connected error.

- Please go to the PC Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > Look for Minecraft Launcher > Advanced options > Repair & Reset.

- Following the same steps, please go back to the Installed Apps and then look for Gaming Services > Reset and Repair.

- After you're done with both the Gaming Services and Minecraft Launcher, please restart the PC and then check if the error is still occuring on the launcher.

If the issue will persist with the Minecraft Launcher, please try reinstalling it. You can uninstall it from the Installed Apps, then install it from this link https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

I will be awaiting your response.

Regards,

Belle
