I have updated display link drivers, I have updated nvida Gforce drivers, I've also updated java and uninstalled and reinstalled Minecraft. It still doesn't work.

gunna need more info than that to help, can you post the whole crash log?

in case you don't know how to do that.

push: windows + R

the run window should open

type: dxdiag

it will ask if you want to check unsigned drivers, click yes.

wait for the window to load.

It's not letting me paste the dxdiag into the post window and I'm not seeing a place to attach the text file.

I know it affects your warranty but downgrade to Windows 8. It obviously has a problem with video cards. The graphics card is incompatible. That's why they made an edition for Windows 10. Try searching for tutorials on how to downgrade to Windows 8! It's much better. Unless you got like 256GB or 128GB hard drive space on your new PC, I think you would find a Windows 8 PC. Also, you will get a blue screen of death sometimes with Windows 10. I saw kernel failed things happening so I had to downgrade. I downgraded and it worked fine. It will work with you!

no no no no no! this is 100% wrong, the issue that OP is facing has to do with pixel acceleration, not an OS conflict! there is no reason to go back to 8. i would never recommend this to anyone. in fact minecraft is currently DESIGNED to run on winX. winX itself has no issues with GFX cards unless they are quite old. i challenge you to give one point as to windows 8 being better.

upload it to dropbox/onedrive/gdrive/pastebin

Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600

Did you disable the integrated GPU? There might be a problem with that. Try to disable the integrated Intel HD graphics card.

You will either have to do this in BIOS (best way) or from the control panel.[/pre]

You're saying Minecraft is for Windows XP with only 1GB RAM? Are you serious? Sure, it can run but you need more memory. 100% wrong? You got no idea what I experienced! Windows 10 is so bad. It destroyed my PC so I had to downgrade! Seriously? Most of the new ones only have like 256GB HDD space! Windows XP is good but you need SATA drivers if you want to downgrade. Yes, Windows XP is the best. Windows 7 is better than Windows 10 as well. Windows 10 was ruined. Downgrade to Windows XP. It might not be supported but you can still use AVG. At least use Windows 7! Yes, it works perfectly.

Windows 7 is good. Windows XP has been discontinued I think but most computers are still running it. The problem is that you got Windows 10. That's why they made an edition for it.

Windows 10 is slow if you use it for a while and it is hard to get around. You got features that require a Microsoft account. It will give you blue screens of death! It messes up Minecraft as well. You got no idea what I have been doing so please think of my knowledge before you try to outsmart everyone.

Windows 8 can also run Minecraft beautifully! Windows 7 can. Windows XP can. Windows 10 looks ugly. I'm sorry but this is just my opinion. Please think before you post!

just by the way... huge difference between winX and windows XP, one being windows 10 and the other being, well, XP... cause i was talking about ten.
anyway.. you are entitled to your opinion, you probably did have some strange problem, point though is that the vast majority of upgrades went fine, every problem i have come across has be due to having an old sound card or needing to update video drivers. having said that though it is potentially very dangerous to suggest that win10 is the source of the problem for two reasons. win10 is only free another 15 days, meaning if that doesn't fix it you lost your free upgrade and long term support, second being that it is very possible that this computer shipped with 10, not 8. if he tried to downgrade and something went wrong he would be out of warranty and the whole thing would be charged to him.

anyeways, looking at the DXdiag, looks like he has the wrong graphics card enabled, should be an easy fix in device manager/BOIS.
