I've never played Minecraft at all before so there's no problem with mods. I updated Java to the most recent version in hope of fixing it too. Not sure what I can do. Could anyone help?
Having exclamation marks or other special characters in your Windows username can break Java, which in turn breaks Minecraft. To fix this issue, either create a new Windows account without any special characters (only A-Z and 0-9), or change the working directory of the launcher.
