Just downloaded MC again after a year, launcher not working

Hi all!

I'm just trying to get back into Minecraft, but I can't get the game to launch. I figured someone here may have run into a similar issue.

When I click "launch", it goes to "launching..." and then does nothing. So far I have tried:
Uninstalling/reinstalling latest version of java
installing previous versions of java
uninstalling/reinstalling minecraft
deleting .minecraft folder contents
multiple computer restarts

Below is a copy of the launcher file:
