After installing the Minecraft Windows 10 Launcher and Bedrock Edition, I continuously receive the error message, "Could not start the game," when pressing the play button.
To resolve this issue, I have tried reinstalling the launcher, deleting all related files, installing JavaScript, restoring Windows through the firewall & file repair options, and granting all permissions. However, the Bedrock launcher still does not run at all.

Good sir,

I humbly write to seek aid in a most vexing matter. Whenever I attempt to set Minecraft in motion by pressing the play command, I am met each time with the selfsame error. I have labored long to remedy this trouble and have tried many means to set it aright, yet all have proven fruitless.

I know not whether this fault lies within the game itself or with my own device, for in days past no such hindrance plagued me. I have even gone so far as to reinstall both the Minecraft launcher and the Xbox application, yet still the problem endures.

Thus I remain at a loss and humbly seek guidance.

For any aid or counsel you might bestow in this matter, I offer my sincere thanks. May your wisdom and kindness be well rewarded, and may fortune smile upon your endeavors.
