Just noticed this may be a dupe of MCL-5065 that is still unresolved.
Rolled back both NVidia driver revision (v378.49 [with client crash issue] -> 376.33 -> 375.70), and Windows recent update but the white launcher is still occurring. 375.70 was rel'd 10/28/2016 and I'm fairly certain I used it successfully at the time.
Is there a way for me to roll back the launcher revision? My launcher is v1.6.73. The OP shows his was 1.6.66. Is there a launcher archive somewhere that I could pick up an older launcher and try out?
I did a quick search of the Jira tickets for 'launcher white' and I see 5+ Jira tickets reporting the same issue over time. None of them are resolved, most are closed and lumped together with 5065. There's a lot of people "me too'ing" this issue.
MCL-5315 claims that this issue self-fixed by rebooting the PC.
Same thing happens for me. No mods, vanilla launcher, just installed. Tried downgrading NVidia driver again but no help. It does NOT happen when I use the onboard Intel 4000 GPU, it ALWAYS happens now if I choose the discrete NVidia 660M GPU. The game loads, you can follow the client log if you tail the file in the filesystem, and it's clearly loading, it's just not displaying anything in the launcher but white and a titlebar. I can hear the music when it finishes loading, but nothing in the window but white.
I've been playing MC on this laptop for 3+ years now. It seems to have only started doing this in the last week or three.
The latest.log output for a vanilla 1.11.2 game is sparse, but doesn't suggest any issues: http://pastebin.com/FQF6TdhQ. This happens for other versions of MC too, so it hints that the launcher isn't happy with the NVidia driver for some reason. (since the Intel still works)
I had an issue with the next "released" NVidia driver yesterday (game actually errored on launch, a Jira ticket here had a response from Mojang that blamed it on the latest NVidia, so I downgraded and the crash went away, but now with the downgrade I've got a solid whitescreen in the launcher on a fresh MC install)
