Launcher fails to launch game and then incorrectly claims that the game is already running

[media]

When I open the launcher and press 'Play' for the first time, the launcher closes and nothing happens. 

Upon opening the launcher and pressing 'Play' again, the above warning appears. 

I've restarted multiple times and it keeps happening. Also cleared the task in task manager and again it still happens. 

Also, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and that does not work. 

Any ideas?

Does the issue persist after restarting your computer?

Yes it does, I've tried restarting a few times.

I can't find the full launcher log as you've explained, is this it? I've attached the files in the attachment section.

I have the same problem too

migrated

Posted same message on another but i realized this matches my problem more specific.

 

The same thing keeps happening to me. Once I start the game it starts normally when I press play until it starts to load. Then it just suddenly stops and says something like ''Minecraft doesnt answear''. I've tried looking for bugs or viruses on my computer, restarted it, completly  gotten rid och downloading the game again but nothing seems to work. I don't understand what could be the problem to this and me not having english as my first launguage is not helping here. It's really hard to understand what I should do. PLease help me. I'm kind of freaking out.

same problem here too. I tried deleting the .minecraft folder, then every trace of the game and re downloading it, I even tried running a factory reset on mp PC and getting the game new on what is functionally a new computer.

But nothing worked.

Needless to say I'm more than a little unhappy about this.

I've had this issue before and know how to fix it. Go to task manage scroll all the way down to where it says Minecraft launcher click on it, then at the left right it will say end task and it'll allow you to play Minecraft again, just make sure when you want to play Minecraft again, repeat this procedure.

This same thing is happening to me. Clearing the task from Task Manager didn't work. Re-installing the launcher didn't work. I have no mods installed, fresh install of Minecraft.
