Minecraft crashes because of failing to allocate memory.
To reproduce the bug, run MC on a laptop and open or create any world. That’s it.
I have no idea what’s going on.
Environment
I have 8GB of RAM, and 4GB are being used by Windows things (e.g. explorer, csrss, svchost, etc.) and my other stuff (e.g. VPN) which I had closed and MC still died.

Hello, just trying to narrow stuff down,
while you might think you have 4GB can you verify this in the task manager? Sometimes ram can get damaged. (third tab from the top, in task manager) if it shows less than 4 one of your ram sticks has perhaps been damaged if you use multiple. It is honestly suprising to me you only have 8Gb in the first place given how Windows 11 already needs 4GB to run, if 1 of the the (i assume) 2, 4GB sticks was damaged somehow it could mean there is nothing left to start minecraft
@Fuchssprung
I was using task manager to check the amount of memory there so yeah, there are 8 usable GB, 4 used by Windows. (technically it says 7.4 GB total but that's in GiB.)
