Minecraft is a great game waiting to be discovered, but something is not right. There are some problems while running Minecraft on your system. Your Minecraft game is not responding. Worse, no matter what you do, Minecraft is not responding. Don’t worry, in today’s guide I will show you how to fix the Minecraft not responding issue.

There are many reasons why Minecraft is not responding. They are mostly due to conflicts or version mismatch (outdated versions). When it comes to the topic of conflict, it can be related to other software competing for the same CPU resources or blocking certain resources that Minecraft needs. For the version mismatch, we just need to update certain software.

Due to old versions of the game, Windows OS or even the system drivers can cause issues. You need to check if you are running everything on the latest version. To update your drivers, you need to search the Device Manager in your Start Menu. In your Device Manager, you will find all the drivers, devices and adapters that your system is using. From there, you need to update your graphics drivers, sound controllers and other drivers. Restart your PC after updating them so that the updates can take effect. Once this is done, Minecraft should be able to run without any issues. Updating your Minecraft client is also a must. Another reason why the issue may have arisen is due to the Java version of the system. Update it to ensure that Minecraft responds properly on startup.

If the above solutions don’t work, try this one. Normally, when you run a game, you run it with your Windows user account that doesn’t have administrator rights. This is not a problem in most cases, but here you need it. Here’s what you need to do, find your Minecraft client. Right-click on it and select Properties. Under Properties, you will find 6 tabs at the top. One of them is Compatibility, click on it and below it is the option Run this program as an administrator, check it. Apply it and confirm. Now try to run Minecraft, in that case it should work.
