How would one launch the minecraft launcher if it cannot be launched?

I have the exact some problem. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it a lot and nothing seems to work. Also when I go to delete it it says it is running, idk what that is about. Also when I install it agian it says it is updating but then nothing happens. Mojang plz fix this fast.

Hello!
Not sure when the issue will be fixed. However, I've noticed that deleting a file in .minecraft can fix the issue. To fix this issue (at least temporarily until it's fixed fully):
1. Restart your computer. This'll stop any minecraft processes that are still in a deadlock.
2. Press win+R, and type in %appdata%\.minecraft
3. Find the folder called "webcache" and delete it.
4. Try running minecraft again.
If that doesn't work, try following the workaround here:

Starting the launcher after i restarted the computer and witout internet connection worked just as you suggested mojang. Thank you for the help.

The bug that we were tracking as a cause to this problem has now been fixed. If you are still experiencing this issue please go ahead and report a new bug.
Note that the fix is currently only available on the "beta" version of the launcher, which you need to opt in inside of the launcher. This fix will be available to all users when the next version of the launcher is released to everyone.

This issue is still present on Launcher version 973 (1), and has not been resolved...
If you still have this issue, please file a new bug report and provide the launcher log.
We do not have enough information to find the cause of this issue.
Please attach the full launcher log found in
