Minecraft Launcher is not responding

Potential Workaround

First make sure the launcher and game are closed, then go to your Minecraft folder and delete launcher_msa_credentials(.json) and try starting the Minecraft Launcher again.

  • Windows Users: Press Windows + R on your keyboard, type %appdata%/.minecraft and click OK.

  • Mac Users: Press ⇧ Shift + ⌘ Command + G on your keyboard, type ~/Library/Application Support/minecraft and click Go.

When I try to open the Minecraft Launcher it is stuck on a gray screen and when I try to X out of it it says "Minecraft Launcher is not responding" I am on Windows and I tried uninstalling and re downloading it multiple times same goes for me restarting my computer. Can someone tell me what im supposed to do.

I have the same issue any fixes?

I've been having the same problems for the last 3 months and I cant play Minecraft anymore in till I find a fix, I've done everything you've done and I made sure I downloaded the right Minecraft version 

 

What is a backup folder and how do I make one? I've been having this problem for quite a while now.

Please try this possible workaround:
1) Close the game & launcher
2) Press Windows + R
3) Type %appdata%\.minecraft and press Enter
4) Delete launcher_msa_credentials(.json)
5) Try to play the game again

If this works for you, then please leave a comment!

Would you mind attaching the full log found in minecraft/launcher_cef_log.txt?
