@MojangSupport I am trying to update my Minecraft native launcher, and it just won't. I've tried everything from repairing the installation, uninstall and reinstall, updating Java then reinstalling, running as admin, nothing is working.

Have you checked for any updates to your video card drivers? For more info on how to go about doing this, check out our help article here: bit.ly/3dgJyek. Let us know if you're still encountering this issue or not after making sure your drivers are up-to-date! ^FF

So, I eventually just gave up and it started working again, but as of right now, it is still happening. I've updated all drivers, windows update, java update, everything. Plenty of room left on my SSD as well.

It sounds like the launcher may not have the proper permissions. Make sure your antivirus and firewall have permissions allowed for Minecraft to read and write files, and try running the program as Administrator to see if that helps! ^AM

So, still no luck. Everything has proper permissions in my firewall. Tried disabling the antivirus. Drivers are up to date still. Restarting still does nothing. It just sits trying to download for 20 minutes then fails.
