After going to minecraft.net and downloading the .msi launcher (for Windows), I opened it and "Downloading Native Launcher" showed up except it looked slightly blurry, as if it wasn't even loading. After a few seconds, another pop up appeared saying that it was unable to update it. I've tried redoing this process multiple times but it still wouldn't work. I ran an older version of the launcher and it worked, but I'd really like to use the newer one. I tried finding other people with the same problem, but I can't seem to find one in 2018 (unless I'm completely blind.) What can I do to fix this? Also, if there something I'm missing or need to show you?
okay but holy guacamole, after restarting my computer multiple times and uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher, it finally worked after waiting for a minute. i don't know what made it want to work right now, but thanks!
