Hi there!
Please, attach launcher_log.txt file.
Could you try to reinstall the Launcher? After deleting it, find .minecraft and delete the file - what is important that this file should be deleted from the trash bin, because corrupted files from the old .minecraft file may interract with the newly generated .minecraft file.

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

Anyone running into this: Can you report a support case so that we can have a closer look at your problem? You can do that here: https://aka.ms/MCLauncherSupport

Please start that support ticket with the following text: "Reporting from unable to update Minecraft Native Launcher bug to provide the information". This is so that our support team can find you easily and forward that to us.

Then include screenshots of the launcher, the launcher text log, your Xbox Gamertag, and information on how you own Minecraft Java and/or Bedrock. Was it a direct purchase on minecraft.net or by game pass?

If you are running into this please do attach your log file here as well, that might be helpful

I just submitted a report a support case here: https://aka.ms/MCLauncherSupport.
Im having the same issue and followed all the FAQ's and none worked. How will i be contacted?

They will reach out - BUT:

 

Have you tried to uninstall and reinstall the Launcher from the Store? It might solve your problem.

Please try it and tell me if it helped

I have tried installing both launchers from the Microsoft store and the minecraft website. Both give me the same error, ive fully uninstalled both before installing the other. 

The only work around ive found is installing the old windows7/8 installer (i am on windows 10). It will get past the "unable to update minecraft native launcher" error. however, it did take me a few installs on the 7/8 version to get it to work. But this is not a solution.

Taken from SeaLocust in the Minecraft discord:

"If you're having issues updating the launcher at the moment and are seeing an error of Unable to update native launcher, try navigating to your .minecraft folder and delete ONLY the treatment_tags.json file. This is a launcher configuration file and should not impact anything around your games if you only delete that specific file. You can find your minecraft folder using the info here: https://minecrafthopper.net/help/finding-minecraft-data-folder/"
