This morning, I attempted to run Minecraft like usual using the a Forge version. As I clicked it, it started to say " Preparing.. ". It was stuck there for around 10 minutes. I canceled it and ran a regular version of Minecraft and it worked perfectly fine. I then deleted my Forge version and re-installed it. I get the same issue. I went ahead and deleted my .minecraft and re-installed Minecraft. After it had finished, I attempted to launch regular 1.12 and get the error, after 5-10 minutes,
" Failed to download file. patchy-1.1.jar

I've tried repairing Minecraft using the installer, and nothing has worked. I have Java 8 and tried running it as an Administrator and disabling my anti-virus.
Yesterday, Forge 1.11.2 and Forge 1.8 ran perfectly fine without any issues.
To reproduce this error:
1. Delete .minecraft'
2. Remove Minecraft from Program Files/Use installer to remove it
3. Re-install Minecraft
4. Install 1.12

The problem isn't with Forge. The problem is that I can't install Minecraft because of this error. When I deleted Minecraft entirely, I didn't put Forge back into the versions. Only half of the .minecraft files are in there, and nothing else can be created because of this.

Then please attach the most recent log file of a vanilla installation.

i had this problem when im downloading 1.8 without mods
Thank you for your report!
However, this issue is Invalid.
Your game, launcher or server is modified.
If you can reproduce the issue in a vanilla environment, please recreate the issue.
+ Any non-standard client/server/launcher build needs to be taken up with the appropriate team, not Mojang.
+ Any plugin issues need to be addressed to the creator of the plugin or resource pack.
+ If you have problems on large servers, such as The Hive and Hypixel, please contact them first as they run modified server software.
