Sometimes when you exit out of the game, the Minecraft launcher process stays running with no window. I have "Keep the Launcher open while games are running" disabled, so it should close. This makes it so that when you click on the dock icon, nothing happens. This can be fixed by running
killall launcher

Idk if it'll work for you but it was a malware problem for me I suggest downloading a free malware remover app like Malwarebytes just download scan your computer and you should be all ready hope this helps
Hi !
Few questions.
Does this happen on the newest version of Launcher?
Is Operating system, necessary applications and drivers up-to-date ?
Does this issue happen while quitting Java game, Dungeons or Minecraft for Windows ?
Are other games/applications running at the time of quitting the game ?
Thanks in advance

I believe I've just experienced this as well. After quitting the game and closing the launcher, some launcher processes remained running in the background despite it not being open.
