Windows 10: Minecraft for Windows does not launch

Anyone else recently found that Minecraft for Windows 10 no longer launches but instead after the Mojang screen it just flickers? I have tried pretty much everything suggested to fix this but nothing makes any difference. I am running Minecraft on an older HP Pavilion x2 notebook but it meets the system requirements and it worked fine up until yesterday. Is there a new updated version that causes this? Windows 10 is up to date. Anyone else come across this?

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?

It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

 

Minecraft for windows 10 , sound is broken

I recently bought the Minecraft for windows 10 to play with my friends , when I launch the game the sound does not work correctly, the sound is EXTREMELY pixelated, I have seen a lot of posts about people who have no sound and have tried the steps to fix
my problem using the steps from their problems and nothing has worked. The sound doesn't make the game unplayable but it does make it extremely unpleasant.

Steps I have tried:

• Uninstalling and reinstalling sound drivers ,
• Updating sound drivers
• Uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft for Windows 10
• Restarting my computer multiple times
• Trouble shooting my sound

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks
