Since the 26.33 release on 9 July 2026, my Bedrock will not launch. I get a black screen for a short duration, and then it just closes itself. I’ve tried everything suggested online: repairing, resetting, logging out/in, uninstalling/reinstalling, driver updates, etc.
The same thing happened with a release earlier this year, and that did not resolve itself for weeks. Please do not let this issue remain unresolved.
For this problem at least, my Event Viewer identifies a failure to communicate with a NVIDIA adapter:

Please fix this as a matter of urgency. The game is completely unplayable.

Hi!
Thank you for your report!
Does this issue persist after moving “Minecraft Bedrock” from %appdata% directory?

Hi,
Thx for the response. I have not intentionally moved “Minecraft Bedrock” from my %appdata% directory. Am I supposed to?
At the moment, a “Minecraft Bedrock” directory exists in two places:
C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Local\Temp\Minecraft Bedrock
C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\Minecraft Bedrock
Have you advice on how to resolve this?
Thx and kind regards.
Hi!
Thank you for your response!
This issue might be related to corrupted save data, thus I’d like to confirm whether it is the same or a different issue. You can try to move (not remove) Minecraft Bedrock from C:\Users\<myusername>\AppData\Roaming\
If this not a case, could you please include details about your device and system specifications (RAM, CPU, GPU)?

Hi.
Apologies for the delay. I was away from my computer for a couple of days.
I moved the Minecraft Bedrock folder out of that directory and tried to launch it both directly and via the launcher.
I have the same issue: a black screen for a few moments, then it closes.
System specs are…
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)
Storage 1.30 TB of 2.27 TB used
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display
Please let me know if you need anything further.
Thx and kind regards.
Today’s error looks to be the same as the last one I recorded…
