Whenever I try to open Minecraft Launcher on PC, it says file system error 12175

Hello, ChrisSelph. Thanks for reaching out! My name is Lucas, and I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be happy to assist you today.

How long are you having this issue? Did it start yesterday or even today?

I ask because yesterday Xbox had a major server issue which affected everything from buying/downloading games and DLCs, games asking to be purchased again, payments being refused.

Their servers are not back to normal yet and lots of users are complaining they're still having issues. Would you please wait a few hours to see if things get back to normal again?

To follow Xbox server status, please go to:

If problem still persists, please let me know.

Hello, I already have installed the new launcher but whenever I open it, it keeps on saying: File system Error! I really hope there is a solution to this please keep me posted. Thanks

Cheers.

Download this launcher https://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/store/minecraf...

After setting it up, uninstall it. Then launch the launcher you had on your PC before.

I clicked launch Minecraft in the launcher that you provided and it does not open or download Minecraft launcher again. It's only possible to run the launcher with administrator and the file system errors.

Hi just, my name is Oskayra, I am an independent advisor and player like you. I hope I can help you solve your problem today.

The error you are receiving is an installation error. This can be caused by several factors, such as a problem with the installation files, a problem with your operating system, or a problem with your hardware.

Here are some steps you can try to fix the error:

1. Check the installation files.

To verify the installation files, you can try reinstalling the Minecraft launcher.

To reinstall the Minecraft launcher, follow these steps:

Remove the Minecraft launcher from your computer.
Download the Minecraft launcher from the Minecraft website.
Install the Minecraft launcher.

2. Check your operating system.

To check if your operating system is up to date, follow these steps:

Open the start menu.
Type "Windows Update."
Click "Windows Update."
If updates are available, follow the on-screen instructions to install them.
If your operating system is up to date, there may be a problem with your hardware. In this case, you will need to contact your hardware manufacturer for help.

You can use DriverBooster as an alternative

I hope this information has been useful to you, if you continue to have errors, do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Oskayra.
