For several months, I'm not able to play minecraft anymore.
The game used to work well, even with the new launcher (I play minecraft since alpha version!), then one day I could not launch it anymore (without any manual modification of my environment).
The launcher works well, but when I try to launch the game (button "Play"), the game doesn't start, the launcher reappears with a generic error message (see snapshot).
I tried the following things without any result :
upgrading my graphic card drivers => v 22.21.13.8205 from may 2017 (see DxDiag.txt)
use other Java Runtime Environment => 1.8.0_131
give more memory to the Java process => -Xmx3G in the JVM arguments
try different versions of minecraft (1.8.9, 1.11, etc.)
reinstall minecraft completely (delete .\programs\minecraft and .\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft)
try an alternate launcher installation : https://minecraft.net/fr-fr/download/alternative
The launcher log doesn't seem to give any detail about the error (see launcher_log.txt).
The only trace of the crash event I found is located in the windows event log (see windows_event.txt) :
Nom de l’application défaillante javaw.exe, version : 8.0.25.18, horodatage : 0x54345ca0
Nom du module défaillant : unknown, version : 0.0.0.0, horodatage : 0x00000000
Code d’exception : 0xc0000005
Décalage d’erreur : 0x00000001000201b0
ID du processus défaillant : 0x1e80
Heure de début de l’application défaillante : 0x01d2fa5cb1919316
Chemin d’accès de l’application défaillante : C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe
I tried to search in the bug tracker about the error "0xc0000005", and found that there were recent problems with NVidia drivers, that's why I upgraded them... but with no success.
Thanks for advance for your help!

I do not have D3Dgear installed
I have already updated my graphic card drivers
I have already tried reinstalling Java and use different java version (7 & 8)
None of this worked for me...
Moreover, I tried the old minecraft launcher (https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/Minecraft.exe), and it crashes exactly the same way (log in windows event) but with no GUI message.
Could this issue be reopened please ?!
Is there a way to launch the game / run the JVM to have more detailled traces ?
At last, I managed to work around the bug.
I disable my antivirus agents temporarily (Avast free antivirus v17.5.2302)
I start the launcher and play the game
Minecraft launches !!!
During minecraft is running, I can then enable Avast again.
If I start the launcher before disabling the antivirus, the game still crashes.
It seems there is a conflic between Avast / Minecraft / Java at startup.
