Fix OpenGL Errors for Minecraft: Java Edition on Windows PC

Players with Minecraft: Java Edition on Windows may see this OpenGL-related error when they launch the game:

GLFW error 65542: WGL: The driver does not appear to support OpenGL

This error appears when your device's graphics driver does not support OpenGL, which Java Edition requires to run. You can fix this error with a compatibility pack.

Install and Enable the OpenGL Compatibility Pack

1. Download and install the OpenCL and OpenGL Compatibility Pack from the Microsoft Store onto your device.
2. Restart your computer and try launching Minecraft again.
