ive had minecraft on the pc for about a year maybe two and then suddenly about a week ago stopped working. By stopped working i mean when i try to open the launcher it asks "do you want this program to make changes in the computer" and if i click yes it loads but still dosnt open and if i click no it still doesn't open. also the shortcut has an admin sheild next to it but i am the admin of my computer and it still wont open so idk. Ive also tried opening minecaft through curse and curse is wanting me to download minecraft when i try to it says "one or more folders in this path is using a special, non-alphanumeric character" and i have no clue what that means curse worked fine a couple of months ago in that same folder. ive also tried t delete minecraft and re-install it but that doesn't do anything. Also when i try downloading MC through curse on a different folder it says "error". Btw the launcher isnt opening at all not like its opening and when i click play it doesn't load no.. it just doesnt load at all. Ive also tried the Repair option on the minecraft instaler and the delete then re downooaded it. if anyone knows how to fix this problem please tell me. Ive checked multiple youtube videos but none work.
Having exclamation marks or other special characters in your Windows username can break Java, which in turn breaks Minecraft. To fix this issue, either create a new Windows account without any special characters (only A-Z and 0-9), or change the working directory of the launcher.
