Hi, I have the following error when starting the game:

I'm covering the requirements for the game and have everything necessary installed. My OS is Windows 10 pro 64 bit. Tried run in compatibility for Windows Xp/7 - no success.
Tried this too:
Type "regedit" in Start and select the first option that appears. Navigate to the key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Windows

Select the entry AppInit_DLLs and delete it. Restart your PC, and try launching Minecraft again - again no success because couldn't find AppInit_DLL.
Could you help me?

Try running it in DirextX 9 mode. According to PCGamingWiki, on W7 or later OSes, running it in Dx 10 can cause it to crash on launch.

That said, some say just using XP Service Pack 2 compatibility mode, or merely disabling the Steam overlay if it's a Steam version, allows it to run in Dx 10.


NOTE, disregard what was said about it running in DX 11 by downloading and installing a dll file. The game does not support Dx 11, and it's risky to search for and download dlls off the net.
