[JAVA] Minecraft Launcher Crashing (Error code 0x1 or 0x0000005)
I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what the issue is, it's been happening the past few weeks.
Everytime I've tried to open the launcher, I'm greeted with either of these error codes. I've tried everything I can think of, I've reinstalled the game multiple times, reinstalled Windows 11, updated my drivers.
It worked temporarily for literally 30 seconds (Able to open Java and close it), then hasn't worked since. All I tried today was updating my drivers/usual stuff.
Bedrock works just fine if I open it from the individual app not the launcher, Java redirects me to the launcher.
Having no issues with any other games, I can run high-performance games with no difficulty.
Anyone else managed to find a fix? So frustrated, I just want to play vanilla with a friend.
