To fix the problem right click on the minecraft icon, go to Troubleshoot compatibility, and make sure it is set to the correct OS

Hi! I think your computer has 2 GPUs (iGPU and dGPU), and the driver runs the MC Launcher with dGPU. But Chrome can't work with dGPU when you have switchable GPUs. To solve this problem, you can rename "Minecraft.exe" to other name, such as "Minecraft Launcher.exe" or "MC.exe", to let the GPU driver not to run the MC Launcher with dGPU.

(Maybe I make some grammar mistakes because of my poor English.)

Is this Issue still not being dealt with? I have this problem and tried every solution suggested on this or any other forum. The solution of using compatibility mod is not working for me ... I can use vanilla Minecraft but not any mod launchers like twitch or technic launcher. I tried setting back my system and even reinstalled windows and NO it is not related to different dGPU.

Please deal with this issue because this seems to be connected with the latest windows 10 update.

I have the same issue. I've tried reinstalling multiple times and I've updated my drivers.

Forward-resolved to MCL-8702, because that report includes a launcher log.

The same is still happening for me.
