Troubleshooting Minecraft Launcher Issues

=====================================

Have you encountered problems running the latest version of Minecraft? Are error messages and crashes hindering your gaming experience?

One common cause is a corrupted or outdated Java installation, which can be easily resolved by following these steps.

Step 1: Open Command Window in Game Folder

---------------------------------------

1. First, navigate to the game folder for your version of Minecraft. For most users with 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and later:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\game

2. If you can't find it directly, try searching 'Minecraft' in the Start menu.

3. Right-click on an empty area within this folder and select Properties from the context menu.

4. In the next window, click on Attributes, then checkmark both boxes under Hidden items and System (hidden) to reveal hidden folders and files.

5. Now you should see a new folder called `.minecraft` or `/.minecraft`.

6. If not, try searching for it within your user profile directory:

%USERPROFILE%\.minecraft

7. Alternatively, if the game still won't launch from here, create these directories manually:

- For Windows 10 and later: C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft

- For earlier versions of Windows or Mac OS X (High Sierra): ~/Library/Application Support/.minecraft

Step 2: Run Minecraft Jar Launcher as Administrator

------------------------------------------------

1. Open the Command Prompt with elevated privileges:

* Press `Win + R` to open the Run dialog.

* Type `cmd`, then shift-right click on the result and select Run as administrator`.

Alternatively, you can right-click within File Explorer on your Start menu or desktop, hover over Properties, then go to Attributes and checkmark both boxes under Hidden items.

2. Now navigate into the Minecraft game folder by typing:

cd 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\'

3. Then run the following command in the Command Prompt:

java -jar launcher.jar

The Java JAR Launcher will now start up, and you should be able to launch your copy of Minecraft normally from here.

Troubleshooting Tips

--------------

- If none of these steps work, try completely removing all associated files with both versions of Minecraft installed on your system.

* For Windows: Press `Win + R` then type `%APPDATA%\.minecraft`, shift-delete the entire folder and its contents. Repeat this process for other directories mentioned above.

- Make sure you have the latest version of Java (Java 8 or higher) installed from 'Oracle's official website'(https://www.java.com/en/download/).
