I had to pull a Hard Logout of my laptop because Minecraft made my entire screen freeze up. When I logged back in and tried to play Minecraft again, I am now stuck on the Launcher’s ‘Launching Game' screen.
Environment
Activating the Minecraft Launcher app.
I believe this report might be a duplicate of an existing one.
The main issue seems to be tracked here: MCL-26075
~ Happy to help!
