How to fix Mine Craft launcher? [closed]

So I got Minecraft and I logged in, and I pressed the play button. It started to download, but when its almost done, the text appears in the download bar "downloading twitch-external-platform-4.5-native-windows-64.jar" can someone please tell what that means and how I can fix it.

This means that Minecraft is getting stuck at downloading the library file that allows for integrated Twitch streaming. This is somewhat odd, because it's downloaded from the same place as all of the other game libraries (although it may be that this is the first one it attempts to download).

If you have a slow connection, it may just be that it is taking a while to download (it is a ~7MB file). You may want to leave the launcher running for a while, or wait a few hours or a day and try again.

You could also try downloading the file manually from:

https://libraries.minecraft.net/tv/twitch/twitch-external-platform/4.5/twitch-external-platform-4.5-natives-windows-64.jar

And placing it in this folder:

%appdata%\.minecraft\libraries\tv\twitch\twitch-external-platform\4.5\

If that folder does not exist, try creating it.
