When I launch Minecraft, a download page opens to download an update, but the download stops, then restarts, and then tells me that it's impossible to load the update and that the game will launch a previous version of the launcher. Even though I accept this, a new page tells me it's impossible because I'm not connected to the internet, even though I am. Finally, it tells me it can't proceed because a file is corrupted. I've already tried several things to fix the problem, such as uninstalling and reinstalling everything twice, disabling my antivirus, and downloading an older version, but nothing has worked. I even tried other methods, like using a different launcher such as CurseForge, but that didn't work either.

You probably uninstalled the xbox services like I did one day and the launcher wouldn’t respond anymore

Hey! It sounds like your Launcher is stuck in what’s called an 'Update Loop.' > Basically, the Launcher knows it needs an update, but something is blocking the download halfway through. When it fails, it leaves behind 'half-finished' files, which is why you're getting that 'file is corrupted' error. Even though your internet is working fine, the Launcher gives you that 'No Internet' error because it can’t reach the specific Microsoft update servers it needs.
The reason your reinstalls didn't work is probably because those corrupted files are hiding in your AppData folders, which don't always get deleted when you uninstall.
To safely check for and fix corrupted system files, you can open your Command Prompt (cmd) as an Administrator and type:
sfc /scannowThis is a safe way to let Windows repair itself without risking any of your personal data.Also, just a quick heads-up: Since the game won't even open yet, this is actually a Minecraft Launcher problem, but you reported it in the Minecraft Java section. You should move this over to the Launcher section so it’s in the right place! Hope this helps you get back into the game!"
