Minecraft Forums

I am using a fairly new Windows 10 laptop with 16 GB of RAM and every time I start minecraft I get this error here (if more information is needed please let me know and I can get it):

The game crashed whilst initializing game
Error: org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

And in the log/game output:

---- Minecraft Crash Report ----
// My bad.
