Minecraft Forums

Hello,

i just bought the game and when i tried to run it through the the shortcut it stopped the process

and gave this error:

"Unable to start the Minecraft Runtime Environment. This is most likely caused by a corruption. Please try to reinstall minecraft"

i found a solution that told me to open the launcher through "launcher.jar" in the "game" file in the installation folder.

but then when i tried to run, the game crashed.

this is what was written in the crash report:

what can i do to fix this? i tried to uninstall java and reinstall the latest version of java.

i have intel HD graphics 3000 and Windows 10 os

It is simply what it says: pixel format not accelerated. Check out this Minecraft support page for help.

Intel HD 3000 is not Windows 10 supported. Check compatibility BEFORE upgrading.

Downgrade Windows or get a new, supported GPU (not possible on a laptop).

Intel's utility didn't work because there are no drivers for your chip for Windows 10.

Microsoft's update checker should have flagged your Intel HD chip, because, it is not supported or fully compatible with Windows 10 (even when it runs on Windows 8 drivers, which Windows 10 loads by default for it).

Take it from Intel:

http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005526.html

Emphasis added:

Microsoft doesn't want to have to support Windows 7 because they don't get paid for it.

They want everyone to use their new Windows App store because they do get paid for it..

So they want everyone to upgrade.

Intel doesn't want to have to keep writing new drivers for new versions of Windows for old chips they haven't sold in a very long time because they don't get paid for it.

Welcome to conflicting priorities.
