Mineacrt Unable to Update the native launcher

The other night I had been playing MC just fine, no issues on my end about opening it. It was casually a little slow because my computer had an issue in the past, that i'm greatly assuming is the victim of my current issue now. I have no idea how or why, but it was something about the update for Windows 11 getting in the way when it crashed. It seemed to have completely voided and corrupted❓ my service for windows updater as I can not find anything on it on my computer now for it, and no quick-fixes in admin cmd or going into services.msc to look through have fixed it.. it's completely gone. That being said, my computer is basically running its life out i'm assuming. I can't update it, I can't open minecraft now (assuming to a force update) and even using an older version from the site for Windows 7/8 where it has no connection to the force update (so i believed) it is still asking me to. I really love minecraft and have been playing it for a very long time, it's a very comforting and creative environment for me. I hope that I can find a way to fix this, as it's one of the few games I play a lot to focus on something else. I hope there is a way that I can still play minecraft without the launcher trying to update, because that is the fault right now I believe.
