Yes, it finally solved this issue at my PC ! ✔  Thanks a lot.

I updated GeForce GT 540M from 376.54 to the newest driver 391.35 and now I again (after 5 months) have working Minecraft launcher.

@Jens Bollenbacher not yet. There is an option in GUI to add/enable mods but it has no effect. I guess first forge or some other modding platform must be installed with vanilla minecraft.

@vioIine1101 is there any official workaround for this issue? Is there a way to run minecraft using command line parameters so that launcher GUI is not needed? (I've found some solution at stackoverflow but it didn't work for me)

Workaround suggested by Jens Bollenbacher helped ! 👍 ✔

@Marcin Kowalczyk if you just want to play Minecraft, you can use the workaround with compatibility (e.g. windows 8) to play vanilla minecraft. If you want to start the game through a modding platform like curse or technic launcher, this workaround does not help you in this regard.

I downloaded ATLauncher and I created Vanilla Minecraft instance. It works for me. Thanks Jens. 🙂

Anyone interested in details for configuring this workaround have a look at the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTf7rRCwMcI

I updated Java from

java version "1.8.0_144" 
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01) 
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode)

to

java version "1.8.0_151" 
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-b12) 
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.151-b12, mixed mode, sharing)

Behavior is the same. 1.8.0_144 was installed for quite a long time.

I read tickets for the same issue and I've found interesting comment by @Jens Bollenbacher:

this seems to be connected with the latest windows 10 update.

I wasn't thinking about it in this way but my windows 10 was updated few days ago. It could be correlated somehow. I blamed changing Minecraft version but I might have been wrong.

Yes, it is about launcher but it blocks playing, I can't run Minecraft 😞
