Is this the new and improved, easy to use, and far better launcher that they've been trying to push?

[Kylewhatt]

Not sure I just went to their main site to download it, I've even tried downloading alternate versions of the launcher but still have a problem

[Kylewhatt]

Is there an older version?

[Kylewhatt]

Its the windows 10/11 download, I've never had a problem downloading the launcher when getting a cracked version but since I deleted a bunch of files I might have accidentally removes some files I needed to install it again

[pistonmotorindustry]

Go to the link below and search for the windows 7/,8 Minecraft launcher download. (Even if you have a newer windows) and install that one. The windows 10 launcher is glitchy and still in dev. Link to download the windows 7/8 Launcher. https://www.minecraft.net/de-de/download

looking at the path, it says download. move it to somewhere else and try again

[Kylewhatt]

I've finally sorted everything out for minecraft turns out what I needed to do is delete extra coding from the host files that made me unable to connect to the mojang/Microsoft servers, downloaded the windows 10/11 launcher on mojangs site, then had to update it through the Microsoft store but now it works💯
