Hello everyone, I'm here to report a bug, and what looks to be a very serious one at that. I'm sure you've taken a look at the title by now, but my Minecraft (Java Edition) launcher will not launch no matter what I do. I have tried absolutely everything I can to run the launcher and absolutely nothing is working. I've tried restarting my computer, uninstalling and reinstalling Minecraft, running the launcher in compatibility mode, running the launcher as an administrator, going into my task manager and deleting Minecraft from there, and even deleting launcher_profiles.json from .minecraft (%appdata%/.minecraft). As you can see, I have tried everything. The Minecraft launcher had worked fine on my computer before as I used the very same launcher to play Minecraft Dungeons on this laptop before (it is a Maingear laptop using a Windows OS). All the launcher will do now is show me the blue loading circle for about a millisecond and then nothing happens. Any help would be much appreciated!
