When I double click the Minecraft icon the launcher shows up in my taskbar but it won't open. Also when I click on it file called nativelog.txt shows up on my desktop. I've tried opening Minecraft through curse but it still doesn't work. So far I haven't found any other problems that exactly like mine. P.S. I'm on windows 10 and it is the new Minecraft launcher.

Additional discovery.
Launcher is actually loaded, but it is locked down to MINIMIZED mode on the Task Bar. The only way to access the launcher after this point is to Right click on the task item and MAXIMISE the window. Nothing it seem will reset the window mode. It launches minimised regardless and will no expand to any other size other that as indicated above. It would appear that WINDOZE dork updates have stuffed up the access to the launcher window. Is there any way to override the WINDOZE opening the launcher in minimised mode? Can the launcher do this as it starts?
This just confirms my view that microsoft fail to write software that works. Every time I bring my computer out of sleep mode I have to re-configure the display's because some programmer drinks cock via a straw stuck up a nostril.
Suffering the same issue.
Was playing SkyFactory 3,
Closed the game.
Restart (regardless of version or mods)
Launcher seems to go off into the lala land and do nothing. No conflicts in waiting status in side the performance monitoring tools.
REMOVED Minecraft, killed Twitch, Killed Skyfactory 3, Opened regedit and eliminated all references to Curse, Twitch, Minecraft.
Deleted all minecraft related directories. (I am a techi and know how to obliterate software installs).
Reinstalled Minecraft (Vanilla)
Java launch platform works without issue.
Installed MSI verion and the vanilla version is now repeating the go to lala land and does nothing.
Where is the really dumb setting that is resulting in this log file. Do I really have to spend the next 24 hours reinstalling Windows 10 to complete fix a really stupid setting.?
There is no crash report as the game does not crash.
