      Potential Workaround

      If you're using the Windows 7/8 launcher, a potential workaround may be to download the launcher .msi again and click the 'Repair' option.
      If you're using the Microsoft Store launcher, a potential workaround may be to go to the Minecraft Launcher App Settings menu via Windows and click the "Repair" option.

      Navigate to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft Launcher\game' in File Explorer and remove the '.version' file. After this, close the launcher error window and try to reopen the launcher.

      Upon launching the game, some users are faced with an error message stating
      "Couldn't load launcher core from C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\game\launcher.dll: LoadErrorNotPresent"

      This was reported as fixed in MCL-11754 however appears to have resurfaced recently.
