So I'v been having a problem where I can't even start up minecraft. I was having some problems before with the old launcher so I ended up uninstalling fully. got rid of anything minecraft on my computer so I have a fresh start for the new launcher but now it won't even start. I downloaded it and when I click on the minecraftlauncher.exe a window pops up telling me "Minecraft has stopped working" and then i have to force close it
We need to see the full launcher log. On your launcher, click "Launch options", and click the instance you are using. Then, click the small green arrow in the "Game directory" line. Leave the folder that opens on screen then play till the issue happens, open the launcher_log.txt file after the error has happened, and copy its content to http://paste.ubuntu.com. Click "Paste!", then share with us the link (the URL) that it takes you to.

Then try installing with the installer not the .exe
Where is the installer?
The main download on the download page.
i just tried the installer and it didnt work.
EDIT: I also dont have anything on that list that would cause it to not download
