Windows 10: Minecraft launcher showing as open but not

Hi, A week or so ago my Minecraft launcher just stopped opening.

It will show as the selected tab on the bar at the bottom as shown by this photo, but is nowhere on either of my two screens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times, deleted the game information file before reinstalling. I have downloaded the installed again and tried that, I have changed my computer settings to only have one monitor, and to duplicate the display. and I still cannot find the launcher.

Minecraft Native launcher

Thank you Catherine, but i play just updated team fortress 2 from Steam and it updated perfectly. I tried your setting steps but unfortunately i can't modify Minecraft for a reason and if i try to right click nothing happens. When i clicked on Modern Combat
5 it showed me the link to advanced options but not for minecraft.

My father purchased Minecraft for me from Minecraft. net. I have tried a million times but it is hard to acces minecraft forums in China.

However when i opened the Minecraft native log it said my windows version was 8 ,however my windows is 10.

Here is what it says:

Thx for cooperating. I even tried "check for updates in the store" but that wasn't any help.

Hi,

Server interruption during the update process is the primary reason as to why you're encountering this issue. Let's isolate your concern by answering the following questions:

• Have you tried updating other games or apps to check if the same instance occurs?
• Are you referring to
  Mojang.com or
  Minecraft.net as the official website?

In the meantime, we recommend downloading the updates from the Windows Store. See

Check for updates for apps and games from Windows Store. Check if the updates for Minecraft Native Launcher are available.

Another solution you may perform is to reset the game from Settings. Here are the steps:

• Click Start and click Settings.
• Select System.
• Select Apps & features.
• Find the game and click Advanced options.
• Click Reset.
• Restart your device so that the changes can take effect.
