INFO: I am in the launcher Beta program.
So, I load up Minecraft just as any day, but ooh, an update. But after a minute or two of updating, It gives me an error (I can't show because I am writing after uninstalling the launcher). I uninstall the launcher and reinstall it using my existing MSI, but, what's this? Another error (shown below)? Oh boy! I guess I can't play Minecraft: Java Edition until I get an informative reply on this thread!

Try downloading the executable form instead of the installer, and replace Minecraft.exe if you already have it. You can download from here: https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative/
The minecraft files may still exist. If so, Press the windows key + R at the same time and type '%appdata%/.minecraft'
In that folder, open the 'launcher_profiles.json' using notepad. At the bottom of the file change "channel": "beta", to "channel": "release"
