Fix:

  • The first thing you are trying is to disable the firewall and antivirus on your device and try to run Minecraft again. If it works surely it's some rules of your firewall or the antivirus that causing this issue.
  • Next you can try running Minecraft in compatibility mode.
    • Make sure the Minecraft game is not running.
    • Right-click on the Minecraft game icon and select "Properties".
    • Now click on the "Compatibility" tab.
    • Check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for".
    • Here try to select an earlier version of Windows from the drop-down menu. If you are using Windows 11, you might try selecting "Windows 10 or 8".
    • Click "Apply" and "OK".
    • Finally, launch Minecraft and see if it works well
  • Check the version of Minecraft and then check which Java JDK/JRE version is required for that version, check which version of Java you have. If not the same, try to install that same version of Java.
  • Try to repair the game using the launcher's repair function. This may fix the corrupted game files.
  • If you did recently add any mods or custom content, try removing them to see if this fixes the issue.
  • Make sure that your Graphics software is up-to-date.
  • If nothing works, try to uninstall and reinstall Minecraft.
