A few weeks ago my Minecraft just stopped working all of a sudden. The new launcher is invisible, yet still an open window. I know this because when I hit Alt + Tab I can see that it is open, but it only shows the top bar (the place where the exit button would be). I have been using the old launcher ever since, but I have to reinstall it if I ever close Minecraft. There are usually cases where the launcher appears black or white, but mine is just non-existent.
There are no crash reports that I can find, but if you would like me to do so please tell me how.
I do use the old launcher, but I would like to use Curse as a mod launcher. In Curse whenever I click install Minecraft it always installs the new version, which as you may have guessed is still invisible. Every time I close the old launcher I have to reinstall it, so I think Curse does not recognize it. I honestly don't know what the problem is here.
I think you should download it off the official Minecraft site and then if your signed in go to the top and click the download button and then reinstall it after its downloaded!

There is a setting in curse to switch to the old launcher, its on the twitch app(that replaqced curse)

I can't find the old launcher in my files, even when I look up 'minecraft'. I think this might be the reason why I keep having to reinstall it, because it's not even there.
After installing the Twitch app, I figured out how to set it to my old launcher. Instead of telling to use the native launcher, I told it to use the .jar launcher. After that I picked which version of Java to use and... bam! Everything works okay now, I'm just stuck using the old launcher. Thanks for all the help urielsalis, have a great day.
Hello, I Have Recently Have Had This Problem And Have Learnt How To Resolve It. All You Need To Do Is Open The Launcher, Hover Over The Icon ... It Will Show Up With A Box Which Is Highlighted. Now Right-Click That Highlighted Box And Press Maximise, You Will Have To Do This Every Time You Load Up Minecraft Because I Have Not Found A Way To Stop It Permanently. Hope This Helped!

Its on settings. You have the Twitch app or the old Curse app?

I don't have the Twitch app, so I assume I have the old Curse app. It's the one with the fire logo.
Uninstall it and download the twitch app from app.twitch.tv. It should have updated you automatically
