Minecraft Bedrock stuck at 50% on loading screen

Hi! I have tried all the fixes that have been suggested previously for Minecraft Bedrock and nothing seems to work. The preview actually works fine but the regular Minecraft Bedrock program will only load to 50% and then gets stuck. My other child can load it on his computer and plays daily. I don't understand what's happening and it's really frustrating for my son. Can anyone help? Or is there someone I can call?

Thank you in advance,

DCAT

    If Minecraft Bedrock is getting stuck at 50% on the loading screen, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

    1. Ensure Gaming Services are up to date: Sometimes, outdated Gaming Services can cause issues. You can check for updates by launching PowerShell as an administrator and running the following commands: 
         get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
   start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
      This will remove the current Gaming Services and prompt you to install the latest version from the Microsoft Store.
    2. Check the Xbox App: Make sure the Xbox App is also up to date. If it's been a while since it was updated, switch to RETAIL mode and run the following commands in PowerShell: 
         get-appxpackage Microsoft.XboxApp | remove-AppxPackage -allusers
   start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9mv0b5hzvk9z
      This will ensure you have the latest version of the Xbox App.
    3. Restart your PC: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve issues with services that are not functioning correctly.
    4. Check for other applications: Ensure that there are no other applications or services that might be conflicting with Minecraft Bedrock.

    If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance.

    Hi DCAT, I know how frustrating this is especially when one child can play and the other can’t. You’ve already tried the usual fixes.

    Clear Minecraft cache and reset the app, update your graphics drivers make sure Xbox services are running and if nothing works back up your worlds and reinstall the game from the Microsoft Store.

    Have you noticed if the freeze happens before the Mojang logo disappears or after the loading bar shows Syncing user data?

    Best regard
