Hi there!

  • Does this issue occur on the newest version of Launcher?

  • Does this issue occur on minecraft.net website/MS store version of the Launcher?

  • Is your Windows and associated apps (Xbox app, MS store) up-to-date?

  • Could you provide us with more in-depth repro steps?

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

The issue was happeing on the ms store version of the launcer. I just setup a new junction link linking the folder to a seperate drive and it apperas to now be working as intended

Closing the ticket as 'cannot reproduce' as the reporter fixed the issue.
