Me too. I think you should fix that. It is possible to use Special Charachters in user names on windows platforms, so you should find a way to support it.

UTF is standard, so why is Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition not usable with special characters?

From my point of view this is indeed a Bug.

Resolution: Invalid?? What does that mean? You will not support us users with Windows account names with special characters? I find that a bit offensive in that case...

Comment by Sönke [ 19/Aug/15 ]

That makes sense! That would also be suitable for my case.

My Username was also spelled with a special character.

Comment by Bjørn Stensrud [ 19/Aug/15 ]

I finally found the real reason, it's because Minecraft Windows 10 Edition can't handle special characters in the user folder name. For example my user folder is C:\Users\Bjørn. So it probably crashes when it tries to access or save settings.

So I guess that's your problem also, Sönke.

Björn is absolutely right! Thank you for your hint!

(i am sorry for not having the right letter on my keyboard)

I found that if I installed it in a new fresh Windows 10 user account (not upgraded from Windows 8) it works.

Sounds similar to MCPE-9535

I'll join IRC later this evening. Perhaps we can diagnose the problem

Comment by Luxie Endbringer [ 04/Aug/15 ]

After a restart now works, but I dunno why happened

Comment by HyperCamel [ 04/Aug/15 ]

I do not believe this is a bug. Please head over to #minecrafthelp IRC on EsperNet to diagnose your issue.

Will keep ticket open until we diagnose the problem
