Sometimes, when I start the launcher in Offline Mode and launch a version, it says that the [version].json file is not found. So I have to go online and download it again, then make a duplicate and rename it. For example, I want to play 1.12 and the 1.12.json is still in
.minecraft/assets/indexes/
for both Windows and Linux.
Everything I say under this line are things that I both tried on W10H and U18.04
I tried open the launcher and the directory above side by side, the [version].json is still available. At the moment I told the launcher to launch the game, the [version].json get permanently deleted (not moved into trash) and the launcher announces that it cannot file such file in that folder.
And today, while I was playing 19w11a, the game crashed (this, which should have been fixed in 11b, but then still not) for the first time. I opened it again and it crashed for the second time, that means after the second launch the 1.14.json was still there. After that I add 19w09a to the launcher and tried to load my broken world in that version, the launcher announces that 1.14.json cannot be found. Then after failing launching 19w09a I tried to launch 19w11a. At this time that json file is no more there so I can play neither 09a nor 11a in Offline Mode

Wired connection is about 1.5 - 2MB/s, but that's only after about 22:00 at weekends. Wifi is extremly slow, maximum 300KB/s (At my place it's like almost 100 people use a 2.5MBps connection). But if I get connected, I'm still be able to download those file in maximum 10mins
Hi there!
Could you answer few questions regarding this issue, it will help with the investigation:
Does this issue occur on newest version of the Launcher?
Does this issue occurred more recently?
Does this issue occur on minecraft.net website/MS store version of the Launcher?
Have you tried to install Launcher from the minecraft.net website/MS store?
Are you logged in in both Xbox app, MS store, and Launcher with the same MS account?
Have you tried signing out of all your Windows Apps, and the signing in again?
Have you tried installing it in any other directory?
Is your Windows and associated apps (Xbox app, MS store) up-to-date?
Have you tried to re-registering MS store as written here?
Do you have enough free space on your disc drive?
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
have you tried doing a full download instead of just copying the single file? The launcher checks that the file is not corrupted and deletes it if it thinks it is
