Launcher keeps crashing

If the Settings app crashes whenever you interact with the three-dot menu for the Minecraft launcher, it could be a corruption in the Settings app itself.

If this device was previously managed by an organization (like a company or school), some settings might be intentionally locked. In such cases, the most reliable solution is to perform a clean reinstall of Windows 11 Pro, which will remove organizational policies.

Hi Clevenger, I’d first reset or repair the Minecraft Launcher from Settings, then try uninstalling it and reinstalling from the Microsoft Store or Xbox app. Since Settings crashes when opening launcher options, I’d also run Windows Store app troubleshooting, check for Gaming Services updates, and reinstall Gaming Services if the launcher still refuses to open.
