[launcher] Minecraft Launcher stuck looping
My minecraft launcher keeps loading forever, until around the 5 minute point, it says "failure to update the minecraft native launcher."
i've tried deleting the game files and reinstalling it from the xbox app, the microsoft store, and just downloading the installer from the website.
None of the actual minecraft website articles helped, and the only copy of minecraft that works is the "Minecraft for Windows" as it doesn't make you go into the launcher.
an example what i mean about \"looping\" (it keeps going on)
Alternatively, opening the launcher randomly, will just crash with the code 0x1.
The legacy launcher is also affected by not being able to actually open and play minecraft.
The Xbox Gaming Repair service did not help/assist in my issue.
Looking at the launcher logs in appdata, it says "failure to update/download the bootstrap update."
