just installed the launcher, and run it, so it has to update to the launcher on its first try so I just wait but sometime later, it said "failed to update native launcher minecraft." so I tried fixing it, watched a bunch of youtube vids and stuff. didnt do much progress.

I have the same problem! I hope they'll fix that 

This may be an issue that technical support can help with. Please contact Community Support and see if they can help solve this issue for you.

it's just slow Internet the issue has been solved. 

This happened to me a couple days ago. I have high-speed Internet and was able to fix it by uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher.

which drivers need to be reinstalled? on which system?10?

I have my drivers updated, didnt solve the problem

Potential fix (worked for me):

>> Search the new Minecraft Launcher in the "Apps and features" section in your Windows settings.

>> Click the app, then "move" it to Local Disk C:. I do not know why but the new launcher does not seem to work if it's NOT located in the C: drive.

 

Okay, that solved it for me, thanks!
