Minecraft players now have a new launcher that makes Minecraft very easy to access. If you play Minecraft, Java Edition, and Minecraft Dungeons, you can now play them all from the same place. Unfortunately, many players are reporting bugs and issues with the launcher that either prevent the game from starting or won’t load at all. Here’s everything you can do to fix the issues.
Minecraft Launcher Not Working – Minecraft Launcher Update Not Opening
Here are the reasons that could be behind the new Minecraft Launcher issue. You might see the error message "Failed to start the game! Unable to copy file. Error details: The system cannot move the file to another drive." Others are also getting the error message "Minecraft Launcher is not available on your account. Error code: 0x803F8001."
Before trying the other solutions, check if the classic 'turn it off and then on' method works in this case. Sometimes it can just be a one-time glitch that can possibly be fixed by rebooting.
The new launcher is designed for Windows 10 and Windows 11, as well as Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and mobile devices. If you have a device that isn’t listed here, chances are it won’t work. For some players, the game won’t launch, while for others, the launcher won’t launch at all.
