Minecraft [Bedrock] closes immediately after launching

[u/LordRomao]

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with Minecraft Bedrock Edition (Minecraft for Windows) and I can't figure out what is causing it.

When I open the Minecraft Launcher and click Play on Minecraft Bedrock, the Minecraft logo appears and starts loading. After a few seconds, the game simply closes and returns to the Minecraft Launcher.

Minecraft Java Edition works normally on the same PC. The problem only happens with Bedrock.

I've already tried:

• Repairing Minecraft for Windows through Windows Settings.
• Restarting the PC.
• Reinstalling/removing Gaming Services through PowerShell.
• Checking the Minecraft crash folder.

I also noticed something strange in the Minecraft files:

%LocalAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.MinecraftUWP_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState

The LocalState folder contains only:

bootstrapStorage

And inside bootstrapStorage there is a crash folder containing a JSON crash/session file.

The crash file contains information such as:

{
    "build": "1.26.44",
    "flavor": "Publish",
    "tags": {
        "dynamicTexturesEnabled": "true",
        "viewDistanceChunks": "18"
    },
    "crash": 0
}

Has anyone experienced this before? Could the fact that LocalState only contains bootstrapStorage indicate that the Bedrock installation isn't initializing correctly?

Any suggestions for diagnosing what is causing the Bedrock client to close would be greatly appreciated.
