So just decided to return to minecraft after 5 years and have just been stopped by an error that happens everytime i click play on the new launcher.
Here's relevant (maybe) info to help:
Version: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1
Processor: AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor 3.50 GHz
RAM: 8.00 GB 64-bit Operating System
Java: Version 8 Update 131 (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
If I'm missing info or drivers go ahead n correct/point me to the right spot.
I'd like to get back to Minecraft before i lose the motivation for it dealing with errors.
Thanks!
Edit: tried using the Output log with the new launcher to get more info but it doesnt load anything. Just says "waiting for log output...." so thats a bust.
I've had this problem before. All I did was completely uninstalled Minecraft and reinstalled it. Uninstalled Java and reinstalled it. Backed up my worlds and texture packs. Hit the play button and it worked. Hopefully, this works for you.
Right now i just attempted to use the older launcher just in case the new launcher is the issue (seeing as how i dont get any error codes).
It still failed but now i actually have an error code.

I feel i might be able to get it running if i get help with whatever this error means, and what it wants me to fix.

This is all it shows, cuts off before any errors and redoing it just comes up with the image below for the output log.

I've done this everyday since i got the issue hoping whatever issue it's got would resolve on its own.
Unfortunately no such luck
