Whenever I open the Minecraft Launcher it opens to a black screen. I've tried downgrading/upgrading my graphics card, restarting my laptop, upgrading Windows 10, and uninstalling/reinstalling Minecraft and Java, none of which have worked. I've provided the launcher log details as well as an image of the launcher upon startup. My laptop is an HP Pavilion with an Intel Core i7 processor (8th gen) and NVIDIA GEFORCE graphics.

Have you checked the list linked here for any possible conflicting software: https://minecraftirc.net/support-articles/known-incompatible-software/

If you find anything in that list, after taking the appropriate steps, try reinstalling the launcher again.
