I have been struggling to get into minecraft java version for a few days. First the launcher would not open even when task was ended. Which then I uninstalled the game and reinstall... still had the same issue. Next day, I tried the same thing and got the game to launch with compatability with window vista BUT THEN I could not get logged in. Today (2/12) I was still having a issue of logging in and I decided to make a new account and purchase minecraft java again... still encountered logging error but I was loggin in with correct info. I even went into appdata and delete all the files for minecraft and did the whole un and reinstalling. I just want to play the game but nothing I do is working. I now have two accounts and two editions of minecraft. What is going on with my launcher?

Thank you! I ended up using the .exe file and it started working that way.
This is a known issue, see MCL-16538.
Do NOT use the vista compatibility mode, it will only work with old accounts, and it will cease to work altogether very soon.
