edit: Original report below the line. Actually figured out what was causing the issue.
Moving the .minecraft folder using an NTSF symbolic link, for example by using a tool like steammover (http://www.traynier.com/software/steammover), causes the launcher to hang itself without any window shown.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting the launcher creates two instances of minecraftlauncher.exe, one stuck at a constant 25% CPU load, one at 0%. Ram usage varies between 6mb and 70mb for both. Cannot really identify a pattern there.
No log file is created. The file itself gets created, but remains empty.
My system has already been checked for any kind of malware or whatever that may affect the launcher. Several reinstalls of the launcher as well as plenty of restarts also did not help. The updating works fine every time, the launcher stops doing anything after it got past "unpacking launcher" whenever I do a fresh install.
PS: This is a last resort effort to get back to playing. A threat on http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/support/unmodified-minecraft-client/2792870-launcher-hangs-with-no-window-showing-at-25-cpu as well as 2 hours in the IRC linked on the mojang support page did not result in anything. Help me Obi Jeb Kenobi, you are my only hope. Ive got stuff to build after all. :>

If there's no launcher_log.txt
in the .minecraft folder, is there a nativelog.txt
and updatelog.txt
in your installation folder? (By default on windows, that's C:/Program Files (x86)/Minecraft
)
Uri: No. The Process starts twice, but no window is showing up. The only way to notice that anything happens at all is to check Task manager for the minecraftlauncher.exe process.
Dinnerbone: .minecraft folder? I had the Minecraft launcher installed at various places including the default, the game itself however with its.minecraft folder defaults to appdata, and was moved by me to my SSD using steammover.
I checked the Minecraft folder of the launcher for the log files, launcher_log.txt generates, but remains empty no matter what. nativelog.txt and updatelog.txt is nowhere to be seen in the launcher folder,
I check the .minecraft folder for any logs once im back home, and also undo the steammover stuff as well as try a complete reinstall including the .minecraft folder. It is quite possible that the launcher freaks out due to the .minecraft folder link from my C: drive to my SSD.
Updating asap.
yes it still is although I fiddled around with my hdmi and vga cables and that fixed it but it happened again and i don't know how to fix it.
Also I didn't report it so I can't change it.
Hey! I'm a complete newbie when it comes to anything like this, but I have been experiencing the same problem, and I've found a manual, but not permanent, fix. After pressing Launch the Minecraft app doesn't appear of course, but if you go in to Task Manager, scroll down until you find both the instances of the minecraft launcher, by closing the bottom one with more memory usage, it closes both of them and makes the Minecraft window. Hope this helps! Still waiting for a permanent fix, because having to do this every time I want to play Minecraft is quite the pain!
Ok so I just found this thread, and apparently, as the first time it has happened to me, if you select the launcher window, even if it's stiff invisible, using the Tab key you can select the launch button and it works. You can guide yourself with the small preview when hovering the mouse over the icon in the side bar. Maybe it helps.
Can you post a hjt report?
