This bug has been affecting me since I first downloaded the new launcher. The new launcher can't be launched or updated before I restarted my computer. So to launch the new launcher, I have to try and launch the new minecraft launcher first, that launch will always fail for me, and what I do usually is I restarted my computer and that will launch the new launcher
This bug is really annoying, and that's why I stick with the old launcher, just as added info I have tried having only the new launcher on my computer and this still happens. And with the new Bedrock & Java bundle I would like to be able to play bedrock edition of course without always restarting my computer every time I want to launch the new launcher.
I would have to restart my computer first to do so. I also don't know how to get a crash log or log of some kind to attach here, please tell me if you need this. I'm currently only able to provide video evidence of this. Also I think there's another bug that makes you log out every time I launch the new launcher, but that's trivial compared to having to restart your computer every time you wan to launch minecraft. Also the old launcher works just fine, I just hope this can at least be fixed so that I can play bedrock edition whenever I want to.
Steps to reproduce:
Open the new launcher and wait
The new launcher launches but then closes when loading (not the loading animation, just a grey screen)
-> Expected behaviour: Launcher opens and are able to launch Minecraft

Hi there!
Does this issue occur on the newest version of Launcher?
Could you try to reinstall the Launcher? After deleting it, find .minecraft and delete the file - what is important that this file should be deleted from the trash bin, because corrupted files from the old .minecraft file may interract with the newly generated .minecraft file.
Important : Save your worlds/realms/games/skins/servers etc. from .minecraft folder before deleting it.
