I have the same problem on Windows 10, at first it opened, but the next day it didn't want to and it's CPU usage was like 24% so something was definitely happening.
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?
Have you tried to install Launcher from the minecraft.net 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?
Have you tried downloading 'Xbox Identity Provider' found here https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/xbox-identity-provider/9wzdncrd1hkw#activetab=pivot:overviewtab (or in MS store)?
Do you use VPN or any of the incompatible software on machine you try to log-in?
