[MCL-11211] Unable to update native launcher

I can't open my single player world, because of message: "Unable to update native launcher".
I reported this on minecraft.net, but Nova "inkycatz" Barlow (Microsoft (Minecraft)) answered:
"
I'm sorry you're encountering that.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide support for this issue on feedback.minecraft.net.

Please file your bug at bugs.mojang.com

Thank you!

Before you try to redirect me to "the community", please consider:

I am not a member of a server, so discord is not an option (can't send messages)
I bought this game directly from Mojang, not from "the community"

Steps I have taken:

-disabling anti-virus
-uninstalling and an attempt to reinstall, though then I get the same error message
-uninstalling, downloading Minecraft.exe, though then I get the same error message
-updating java

Moved to the correct project (Minecraft Launcher).

Please follow this guide to find the Minecraft data folder. In it, you should find multiple files, including launcher_log.txt and nativelog.txt. Please attach both of them. If one or both are missing, please tell.

Hello. What happens if you try to download https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/559cf2a0c3a6661932c631753dac193983dcf2ef/cef.pak from the same computer that is experiencing the issue?

Installation? What are you doing that is failing?

Anyway, you should have a launcher_log.txt file that you can attach. You can also email me the profiles file at slicedlime at mojang.com.

Intallation / download of the launcher, that's what's been going on the whole time!
I added the new launchr_log.txt file yesterday, but I'll include it in a mail along with the launcher_profiles.json.

Any updates on this issue? I've been getting this error everytime there's an update to the Launcher. I found out that the issue occurs when deleting the older version of the launcher (MinecraftLauncher.exe.backup); as soon as I delete it manually it is able to update normally.

Actually, after playing every day for about five years, this might have been just what I needed.
I removed minecraft, ended all minecraft related subscribtions and picked up some old hobbies.
Somehow I never realized what a time consuming, social structure breaking, senseless adiction a game like minecraft can be.
And with you guys apparently discouraging automation to a certain degree, the game consumes more and more time.

Maybe I'll play again in a couple of years, but for now I'm glad things went the way they went.
