I open the launcher, and it either gives me the “application closed unexpectedly textbox” or does nothing at all

Ive tried:
reinstalling the launcher

updating macos to the newest version

looking up ways to fix it, to no avail.

Hi!

Can you please write on what MacOS system does this issue occur?
Can you also see System Preferences and go to Privacy and Security, then App management or Accessibility - Minecraft give access and change settings there?

This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.

There were multiple, Launcher_log_1,log_2, etc, this was the one without a number though

Hi, have you tried to re-installing the game?

yes, I have tried this multiple times

I have had a similar problem twice now. Both of the times the Xbox-app that you automaticly get with your windows 11, couldn’t open, due to not being updated or something. I think it is a bug that this prevents the launcher from open, especially since there is no notification or warning or anything.

The solution is to actually do the windows updates where they are released. After that you should be able to play minecraft again.

I personally think it is bad design to have other apps like Xbox be required to run the minecraft launcher especially if you don’t make enough error handling.
