I was playing on Minecraft Java Edition, saved and quit the game and came back a few hours later but Minecraft Launcher failed to open at all. I have restarted my computer, ran a troubleshoot compatibility test, updated my drivers, deleted and reinstalled Java, uninstalled and redownloaded the Minecraft Launcher, and still nothing is working; it won't open.
Running as administrator or right-clicking then pressing open does nothing either; the launcher just won't open. It doesn't open any error message though my task manager says it's running in the background. Ending the task and trying again also does not work.
I have never had a problem like this before and have tried everything that I can think of to fix it but nothing is working.
