Every time I load up Minecraft Bedrock Edition, the game keeps crashing, like the game will pop out, but when it gets in and starts loading, it stops at 51%. How do I fix it?

    Try these fixes in order for Minecraft Bedrock on Windows when it crashes during loading:

    1. Reset the Microsoft Store cache.
      • Press Win + R
      • Run wsreset.exe
      • Wait for the Microsoft Store to reopen
    2. Repair or reset Minecraft Launcher.
      • Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps
      • Select Minecraft Launcher
      • Open Advanced options
      • Click Repair
      • If it still fails, click Reset
    3. Reinstall Xbox Gaming Services.
      • A missing or broken gaming component can prevent Bedrock from launching correctly.
      • Open PowerShell as Administrator and reinstall Gaming Services from Microsoft Store, then restart Windows.
    4. Run Minecraft Bedrock as administrator.
      • Right-click the Minecraft Bedrock Edition shortcut or executable
      • Select Run as administrator
    5. Update or roll back the GPU driver.
      • Several reported Bedrock crash cases were resolved by changing GPU drivers.
      • If the issue started after a recent driver update, try downgrading to an earlier stable version.
      • If the driver is old, install the latest clean driver from the GPU vendor.
    6. Sign out and sign back in to Store and Xbox apps.
      • Open the Xbox app and sign out
      • Open Microsoft Store, select the profile icon, and sign out
      • Restart the PC
      • Sign back in with the same Microsoft account in Microsoft Store, Xbox app, and Minecraft Launcher

    If the crash still happens at 51% after these steps, the strongest pattern in the available cases is a GPU driver issue, especially when Java Edition works but Bedrock crashes.
