So I have tried to open minecraft for over a year now, and every time I tried to open it, it crashes and sends a long exit code: -1073741819. I have tried anything from unintstalling the game to reinstalling it from trying to understand game logs, allocating different ram, running cmd commands to clear ram and getting rid of mods or game clients. Mainly need to know if I am doing something wrong or if the issue is different

    Hi,

    Do you have the latest video drivers?

    Are you having problems with the Bedrock or Java version?

    Search for msinfo32.exe in the search bar, take a screenshot, and post it here so we can see the correct laptop model or desktop configuration.

    Thanks
