It has been doing this for at least a year or two with no improvements with updates. I don't really play java, just Bedrock, and I don't know how to reproduce this other than just turning it on and hoping it doesn't take a millennium to connect to a server, or just fail to start because Minecraft Bedrock is apparently running in the background even though it isn't showing up in the taskbar and I have to close it manually through task manager before the launcher will start again. It is an absolutely infuriating piece of software to use. My internet is perfect, my computer is more than capable and maintained. My bios and drivers are up to date. Either fix this half baked software…….or just give a us a direct Bedrock.exe and do the server crap in the background because this launcher hurts my feelings……
Environment
Windows 11, no banana for scale.....
What is the specific bug being reported here?
