I also face a similar problem with the Launch switch.
I recommend using the solution provided in this link:

This works well for me every time.

Additionally, as other community members have suggested, you can use -

Adobe Experience Cloud Debugger
Launch Command

Both of these extensions are available in the Chrome extension store.

It should work if you follow the steps

On switch - > Click on login Launch - > Web Property -> Environment -> Click of any environment

Go to the page  -> Reload the page

 

Try above step, if the issue still persist then uninstall the switch and install it again.

I tried these steps, but it's not working.

I know the DTM and Launch switch extension is simpler and easier to use, but I feel the Adobe Experience Platform Debugger is more comprehensive and well-developed now. I can control multiple debugging options on multiple AEP products so it is recommended to switch over to the new debugger instead.

Using Platform Debugger starts generating duplicate beacons, have you encountered this?

No, never encountered any duplicate beacons. It works the same as the switch extension by replacing the Launch library on the page of your choice.

I actually stopped using the Launch and DTM Switch extension years ago because it constantly went buggy like that on me...

 

I actually use a plugin called "Resource Override" to override the Launch URL to the environment Launch file of my choice... and I turn debugging on and off manually using the console commands

 

// Turn debugging on _satellite.setDebug(true); // Turn debugging off _satellite.setDebug(false);

 

 

I've heard (like @pradnya_balvir mentioned) that you can fix the Launch and DTM Switch by uninstalling and re-installing... but I don't really like things that keep breaking....

 

I've never tried switching my environments using the Platform Debugger like @leocwlau mentioned, but I've heard other people use it, and not a lot of issues reported, so I would assume its stable.
