Minecraft Forums

Dear everybody of the minecraft forum, this problem has been driving me quite crazy for a while now, i can not start minecraft due to a pixel format not accelerated error, iv tried just about every trick in the book, iv been to so many websites, watched so many tutorials but still no fix, im hoping somebody could personally take the time to check out the crash report and my system specs that will soon follow and tell me whats wrong, i do know i can run minecraft on it because i have before (1 solution worked for 1 launch but when i closed it it started again)

Download the auto checker for intel and run it

I have run minecraft (once) with this same laptop running win 10 then it stopped, i do know theres a way just not how to fix it

The fix is downgrading to Windows 7
