Probably a network issue. Can you attach the launcher log?

Yes of course

The launcher is not white at first, you can see the new launcher and the play button, but when you click 'play' you still get a white background in the window and can't see anything. You can hear the audio, but can't see anything but white.

Onboard video shows the screen, NVidia adapter is white. Driver has been downgraded from 1/24/2017 to v375.70. (Oct 2016 I think)

For the record, NVidia just released v378.66 today, on 2-14-2017, and the white screen in the MC player app remains, when running the game with the discrete NVidia GPU. The game runs fine, albeit slowly, when you run it with the onboard Intel graphics chip.

The good news is the crash when you run MC with the 1-24-2017 NVidia driver is gone. (nvinitx.dll) MC runs, but the app is white, and I can still hear the background music, and the boot log looks the same.

Here's the text of the game output:

I can confirm that when I downgrade the NVidia driver (but not the MC launcher) to a known-good variant for me in the past (like Oct 2016) the white play window remains.

I can't be sure if this was the 'fix' for me, but I updated to build 15042 of Windows 10 and the white play window when using the NVidia card is no longer white. The game is visible again.

Same nVidia driver revision (378.66 / Feb 13th, 2017) that white screened last on build 15031.

Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft Launcher version 1.6.84-j? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.

Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. It will be reopened it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.
