6. Wait for them to update and Reboot the system.
7. Relaunch the game to see if the problem is solved.

Allow the Game Through Windows Firewall

If you’re playing the game on Windows 10, too, then there’s a possibility that the Minecraft launcher black or white screen glitch may occur for the simple reason that your Antivirus software or Windows Defender are blocking access to the servers.

1. Search & open “Windows Defender Firewall”.
2. Click “Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall”.
3. Include Minecraft.exe in this list by checking the box next to it and the public and private checkboxes.
4. Save the changes by clicking OK and reboot the system.
5. Now relaunch Minecraft – it should work.

Update Minecraft Launcher

Sometimes you can’t even log in to Minecraft! It takes a long time for the game client to load. Or, the game is crashing with a black screen that says Minecraft has stopped working. The first thing we will troubleshoot is making sure your computer and software are up to date.

1. Open the Minecraft launcher.
2. You should automatically get the latest version info on the launcher.
3. If not, select Latest Release after clicking the arrow to the right of the Play button.
4. If you’re not on the latest version, update the launcher or manually download the latest setup file from the official Minecraft website.
5. After updating, try re-launching Minecraft and pray it works.

Reinstall Minecraft

If you’ve made your peace with the fact that all your prayers and hopes have not been answered, there is really just one way to go around this if all is lost – reinstallation.

Sometimes, caches or corrupted files may be the root cause of your Minecraft screen freezing, white screen or an error code. In such a scenario, you can reinstall Minecraft using the following steps:

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Go to Programs and Features.
3. Select Minecraft and Click Uninstall (Or you can right-click it and select uninstall).
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to remove Minecraft completely.
5. Go to Minecraft’s official website and download the latest version of the game.
6. Install Minecraft and launch it to see if this fixed your problem.
