Hi!
Thank you for your report! 

  • Have you tried reinstalling the launcher? (Remember to create backup files before doing so, then delete folder .minecraft before reinstalling the launcher.)

I've already tried in various ways, it doesn't work. I've tried everything, and that's why I'm here to report this critical bug. There are already 4 people with the same issue, and they are on Windows 10 and 11, which is what I use.

I tried installing the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 25.5.1 for Polaris & Vega driver, and after that Bedrock Edition started working properly. My processor is a Ryzen 7 5700G, with graphics card: AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics (496 MB). The download link is https://www.amd.com/en/resources/support-articles/release-notes/RN-RAD-WIN-25-5-1-POLARIS-VEGA.html. I checked the error logs and found that a Windows TDR (Timeout Detection and Recovery) had been triggered.

I hit Save too soon. Affects 26.45. It worked fine the evening before that update.
Processor AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core Processor (3.90 GHz)
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti (8 GB)

Today it works as of Release 26.51.
