can't open launcher (starting game...) or stays as a background process (in task manager)

hi

i don’t even remeber how long now, but every time i try to run the launcher 2 things happen:

  • the launcher opens but runs for multiple minutes and doesn’t open (starting game …)

  • the launcher doesn’t even open and minecraft. exe stays running as a background proces (in task manager)

now i found a small temporary fix, “run as administrator”

i can’t make this the default way of running the shortcut (because of some reason idk) so i filled this issue

hopefully a bug fix can be found

kind regards

Yben 😄

do you have any other launchers than the official one?

We do not have enough information to find the cause of this issue.

Please record a video of this happening and attach it to this report.
If you are on Windows, you can use Windows+Alt+R to open a built-in app for recording game footage.
If you are on Mac (Mojave or later), you can use Shift+Command+5 to open a built-in app for recording your screen.
In case you don't have a program to record videos, we recommend using the free recording software OBS.
In case the resulting video file is too large to be uploaded to the bug tracker directly, please upload it elsewhere (e.g. as unlisted video on YouTube) and link to it here.

This issue is being temporarily resolved as Awaiting Response. Once the requested information has been delivered, the report will be reopened automatically.
