Yeah, this problem seems to affect nvidia 500M optimus hardware.
I can confirm a successful workarround:
Open windows device manager > expand display adapters > rigth click to nVidia adapter > Disable device.
After that, Minecraft can start properly, but I can not confirm if performance of game is good enough.
Is there any solution?
I have the same issue.
I reinstalled the game from the app store, reinstalled nvidia drivers, Intel drivers are up to date, nothing works.
I Also have Nvidia GeForce GT540M with Intel graphics 3000
The following workarround works while developers team can fix the issue, tested on a laptop that have Intel Graphics 3000 and NVIDIA 540M, if you have only one display adapter such as only Intel Graphics, this solution will not work:
Ensure you have Intel graphics installed and running (probably checked, since Windows automatically installs it)
Open device Manager (Click on Start and type device manager)
Expand Display adapters (if you have Intel Graphics AND also NVIDIA, this workarround might work for you, if no, please desist)
Right click on NVIDIA GeForce GT 5xxM
Disable the device (NVIDIA), and accept the device will no longer operate
Open Minecraft
You can always re-activate NVIDIA device when you stop playing Minecraft.
