Windows 10: When trying to log in to the Xbox app or Minecraft launcher a gray screen will flash, and...

For a while now I've been trying to log in to the Minecraft app, but every time I click "log in with Microsoft account" a gray window will appear and then disappear, as you can see in the videos I've included. Recently I realized that this was also occurring with the Xbox app when I was trying to login. I have tried restarting both my computer and the apps multiple times and nothing has changed. I think that both of these events are connected and there might be a missing file or something.

(sorry I had to use Youtube, reddit woudln't let me upload the videos so it was the only thing I could think of to use)

"Gray Screen of Death"

Great post! I have a Sapphire HD 5750 sitting on the shelf going to waste due to the gray screen crash. I run dual monitors and mine crashes randomly in 2D and is guaranteed to gray screen playing any kind of video.

A few months ago I tried this method to no avail. The clocks stayed up just fine but it didn't help my crashing problem.

This post has motivated me to maybe find a reference HD 5750 bios of another brand and try flashing.

I've never flashed a video card, any suggestions or links where I might find a bios and flash utility?

Thanks again for the great post.

 

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.

 

"Gray Screen of Death"

Thanks for your informative post!

I had solved my 2D & gray screen issue using advice posted by erocker (see below)
Mainly it involves creating a profile and putting higher 2D clocks:
