Platform: Minecraft Launcher (Windows Store Version)
Issue: Users encountering unresponsiveness when attempting to open the Minecraft launcher from the Windows Store. Despite reinstalling the application and waiting, the launcher remains unresponsive, showing no activity in memory or CPU usage.
How to Solve:
Check for Background Processes: Ensure that no background processes related to Minecraft or the Windows Store are running. Sometimes, background tasks can interfere with the launcher's startup process.
Run as Administrator: Right-click on the Minecraft launcher shortcut and select "Run as administrator." Elevated permissions might help bypass any permission-related issues causing the launcher to be unresponsive.
Compatibility Mode: Try running the Minecraft launcher in compatibility mode. Right-click on the launcher shortcut, go to "Properties," navigate to the "Compatibility" tab, and check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for." Choose an earlier version of Windows and apply the changes.
Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure that your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can cause software to behave unpredictably or become unresponsive.
Check for System Updates: Make sure your operating system is up to date with the latest updates from Microsoft. System updates often include bug fixes and improvements that could resolve compatibility issues with applications from the Windows Store.
