I haven't been able to play Minecraft Java for days because when I click "Play", the game opens in full screen with a black background and a blank window, the game's music plays but I can't see anything.
I tried uninstalling the launcher and installing it several times, updated drivers, updated Windows. I even reset my computer and nothing, I still can't play.
In between this, I tried installing and playing Minecraft Bedrock and was able to play in full screen without any problems.
The only change I noticed was when I deleted the ".minecraft" folder. When I installed the launcher again, I was able to enter Minecraft Java but in windowed mode, when I go to full screen in the game menu or when I press F11, the screen goes black again with the window blank.

Would MCL-12722 describe you're issue?

MCL-12722 Doesn't describe my problem.

@unknown Thanks for clarifying, but I would like to ask if MC-234168 describes you're issue? The reason I ask is because the screenshots attached to the report look similar to the bug you're currently experiencing:
[media]Keep in mind that MC-234168 was resolved as a duplicate of MCL-12722 meaning this report likely duplicates MCL-12722.

The environment field of this issue states you are on java 8, which is not the supported version for the latest Minecraft release, 1.21.1.
Are you experiencing this issue in 1.21.1? If so, please make sure you are using Java 21 or later, which is the supported version for the latest release.

Yes, now that I look at it, my problem looks similar to MC-234168

Could you tell me where is the solution to my problem? That they say "Duplicate" doesn't help. I'm going to report that it is supposedly the same as mine and I don't see a solution.

The bug tracker is not a help desk for providing individual technical support. However, Minecraft 1.17.1 is outdated and no longer supported anyway. You should update to Minecraft 1.21.1, update your Java version to Java 21 or later, and install the latest video drivers.
