Original source date

Answer

First, sign out of all Minecraft accounts, including the attached Microsoft account, before closing the Minecraft application or launcher, depending on which version you are using. When this is done, re-open Minecraft. Navigate to your in-game settings, and in the Account section, select Manage Account. In your Xbox Console Companion app, proceed to sign out and back into your account. Another thing to check is if your account is in good standing. Make sure your account hasn't been banned or suspended.

In the Network tab, open the Processes with network activity, and after a few seconds, you will see every process using your network connection. This might be your browser running in the background, Steam, or a download bottlenecking your connection. I suggest you only end the processes you know won't break your operating system.

Update Network Adapter Driver

To further troubleshoot network-related problems, I suggest updating your Network Adapter’s driver. To do so, search for Device Manager in your start menu search to open it up. Expand your Network Adapters, right-click the one you are using and select Update Driver. Finally, click on Search automatically for drivers. This will take a second to download and install the latest Network Adapter driver.

Update Windows Operating System & Drivers

You should also ensure that your Windows 11 version is up to date. Search for Update to open up your Check for Updates system settings window. Your Settings will open up. Click on Check for Updates, Download or Install Now, and restart your PC after making all of these changes to your OS. Sometimes updates fix compatibility issues.
