Minecraft Launcher is Black but Buttons are still there
This issue might be fixed by ensuring you have installed the latest graphics driver.
When I open my Minecraft launcher, I get a blank grey screen. All the buttons and everything is still there (I can tell because my cursor changes shape) but I can not tell what I am pressing. I have tried:
- reinstalling Minecraft,
- using the compatibility option,
- disabling it from all security features
- restarting my computer.
I have a hp laptop, windows 7. Please help quickly
P.S. My computer is extremely old and is full viruses that we are trying to get rid of.

I am opening this issue even though I have found MCL-12722 due to it occurring on MacOS vs Windows 10.
Opening the Launcher displays a blank grey screen. I can tell that the form elements are there because my mouse curser changes when I'm hovering over what I assume are the text bars, and also when I hover over the button.

If possible, please provide some screenshots or videos of this issue occurring whilst the F3 debug screen is enabled. I'm unsure as to whether you are saying this is a problem with the launcher or the actual game. Would MCL-12722 happen to describe your problem if this is a launcher issue?
MCL-12722 might describe or solve your problem. If not please attach the crash report or log.
The crash report is a text file located in the .minecraft/crash-reports folder named crash-date-client.txt. If not available attach the launcher_log.txt file.
Does MCL-12722 happen to describe the issue that you are experiencing?
This sounds a lot similar to MCL-12722. With that being said, would this ticket happen to describe your issue?
Would MCL-12722 describe you're issue?
MCL-12722 Doesn't describe my problem.
Gianluca11 Thanks for clarifying, but I would like to ask if MC-234168 describes you're issue? The reason I ask is because the screenshots attached to the report look similar to the bug you're currently experiencing:
MC-234168 Attached screenshot.JPG
Keep in mind that MC-234168 was resolved as a duplicate of MCL-12722 meaning this report likely duplicates MCL-12722.
We do not have enough information to find the cause of this issue.
Please attach the full launcher log found in minecraft/launcher_log.txt.

Possible dupe of
MCL-5511?The exact issue isn't the same, however the workaround may work
Thank you for the suggestion Greymagic27, however, this did not work. Here is a screenshot of my compatibility:
Thank you for your input.
Can you try turning on windows xp service pack 2 compatability, loading up the launcher. Then go back into the menu and turn compatibility mode off.
This is hardly a fix or a workaround, just me trying to jig it into action
I think I already have tried this.
I just lanched the launcher and here is the log i got ( i have same issue )
launcher_log-1.txt
i hope this helps solve the issue
Unfortunately, my request
MCL-16302was closed. but in my case the compatibility mode works. But the current launcher also shows a black screen, too. You can find a log file in the ticket for analyzing the black screenJust updated my amd graphics drivers and it fixed the problem
Me and one of my friends have had this on Windows 10, but never on macOS or Linux. A fix is to rename the .minecraft folder to .minecraftold (you will have to transfer your worlds and settings). This will cause the game to make a new .minecraft folder, so it is something to do with the game folder.
I closed and reopened the launcher and it worked for me :/
Hi there!
Could you answer few questions regarding this issue, it will help with the investigation: * Does this issue still occurs to you on newest version of Launcher?
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
