Minecraft Forums

I have an excellent computer, an Alienware 17 laptop (or something to that effect), and have played minecraft on in before with over 80 to 90 mods all at once. Recently it installed an update to a few systems (cant remember which ones) and it changed a lot of things directly on my desktop and I'm guessing in other systems. Now minecraft just refuses to load even the screen for forge loader with the hammer and anvil, sending me directly back to the launcher with a crash report, no matter what version I use. I have even taken all of my mods out of the mods folder, as that helps sometimes, and it still didn't work. I got this crash report when I tried that (it looks similar or identical to the others I have gotten, don't know if that matters).

Does vanilla Minecraft work (no Forge)?

Nope. I tried it on regular 1.7.10, 1.8.9, and 1.10.2. Vanilla minecraft doesn't work either.

I fixed it. Apparently my computer didn't update properly. It had update and restart and update and shutdown on the logout menu, which I didn't notice before. I shut it down and updated it again, but it didn't seem to update anything. It didn't have the update percentage screen or anything, it just took longer to shut down then normal. When I turned it back on, all my icons on my home screen were normal sized again and Minecraft worked again, though the logout screen still has update and shutdown/restart for some reason. When clicking on them it just shuts down or restarts normally. I'll be checking for viruses later. Thank you for the help though!
