Haven't opened up Minecraft in about a month, decided to boot it up today and got the following error:

[error occurred during error reporting , id 0xc000001d]

I have no clue how to fix this but would really like to have my Minecraft not crash every time I hit the play button.

Java is a bit outdated too.

It mentions this file:

# An error report file with more information is saved as:

might be a clue there.
