I have the problem with Minecraft that when I try to play multiplayer the error message "Failed to log in: The Authentication Servers are currently down for maintence." And I'm quite sure that the server is not down. I looked in many forums but nothing helped.

Yes. But you can delete everything again and reinstall it

wens helps.

The software did not find anything after scanning. Or do you have to set something special?

No you don't have to. Last option: When did you buy Minecraft before or after November 2020?
