Does anyone know what is going on with the #Minecraft Launcher? Everytime I hit play it is always 'waiting on install'... Like shouldn't it just do this once until an update is released? Is is supposed to be like this? I don't get it... @MojangSupport

That's strange! Can you reach out to our Tech team to have that looked into? To keep your information secure, please complete our request form at aka.ms/Minecraft-Support so we can quickly and safely assist with your question! ^BT

Same thing happens to me as well it seems this is a ongoing issue with the launcher

Thank you for reaching out to us, as well. If this is for Java, the launcher is merely checking for updates and it's working as intended. If this is for Bedrock, try performing a game update through the Microsoft Store. ^AG

Thank you Mojang btw what happened to the launcher why is it a creeper and not a grass block?
