1] Log out and Log In

Then, close the app, restart your system, and re-login. This should do the trick for you. If the issue persists, open your browser, go to minecraft.com and try to log in.

2] Clear Technic Launcher

- Open Technic Launcher and go to its Settings.
- Click on Clear Cache.
- Now, open Run, paste “%APPDATA%”, and click Ok.
- Open .tecnic folder.
- Go to the Cache folder and delete all of its content.
- Go back to AppData, open .techniclauncher > cache, and delete its content.
Now, restart your computer and reopen the launcher. This time, the login should work.
3] Refresh your Network Protocols
As mentioned earlier, you can see the error code in question because of some form of network glitch. We are going to release and renew IP, reset Winsock, flush DNS and check if that resolves the issue. To do that, open Command Prompt and run the following commands.
ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns ipconfig /registerdns netsh winsock reset
After executing the command, check if the issue persists.
4] Troubleshoot in Clean Boot
Maybe the issue is caused due to a third-party application, in some cases, your antivirus as well. However, we can not pinpoint an app and ask you to remove it, we need conclusive evidence. To gain that evidence, you need to perform Clean Boot and enable processes manually, until you find out the culprit. Once you know who the intruder is, you know what to do with it.
5] Reinstall Technic Launcher
If nothing works then maybe the issue is with the launcher. What you need to do is uninstall it and then install a fresh copy of the launcher. This will replace the corrupted files with new and correct ones resolving the issue that you were facing.
Hopefully, these solutions worked for you.
