Can't create profiles

(I do not know what to put in components)

 

Problem: I cannot create launcher profiles, the dropdown for versions shows up blank

It has something to do with the older (classic) look. If I open it, lose settings, then make profiles, the profiles export to the new one, but I still cannot create them.

You have any parental control software, firewall, antivirus or adblocker?

Yes, but that does not effect it, as I said, it downloads versions still, and if I use the classic launcher, the versions show up fine.

That type of software is known to affect Minecraft updating and download process.

You will need to disable it or add Minecraft and Java as an exception

it is already on that list, and it has since stopped interfering. As I ALREADY SAID, it is NOT that, the connection works fine, I can even get to the files from my browser. look, I am a tech person, the web filter is NOT the problem, as it still downloads the versions, and I can get to the versions list on the old launcher. the newer launcher is the problem. I saw someone else say the same thing on a different fourme while I was looking for a way to fix it. 

 

I can make new profiles, but the versions dont show up. If I use the classic launcher 1.6.89-j, the profile editor works perfectly, I can select any version, including 1.14 snapshots, meaning it IS using the current list, thus able to access the database. When I use launcher 2.1.1433, It imports the profiles from the old one, and can download all the game files, but cant create new profiles that are not the default setting in version selection (latest release).

THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. you should get confirmation that the 'fix' worked before making it that way.

this is really what I get for reporting a bug, being told it is an isolated issue only with my machine. x to doubt. 

Theory: the new launcher has a problem writing to launcher_profiles.json sometimes

LauncherConfiguration from: http://launchermeta.mojang.com/mc/launcher.json
Native launcher is current
