hello, i've been playing minecraft since 1.10.2 and i've had this problem before but had help that I no longer have and dont know what to do.
The basic run down of what happened was i was playing a minecraft modded game and i got the mods from twitch, i got off to play cheeky chooks (a free steam game) and when i was done i wanted to get on again but it wouldn't let me, basically i could scroll over the open launcher and see that it was open and ready to play with the newest update slideshow and all but i couldnt open it onto my desktop to click on the buttons it holds, so far ive installed it in about 11 different ways 11 different times, and i think i just messed it up bc now i only have the launcher_profiles.json and launcher_log files in the .minecraft file, i dont understand how i messed it up so badly that a repair, re install and updating java wont fix this but I do know that it was mostlikley something went out of date, an update decided to mess with my minecraft (just remembered in the time span of closing mc the first time and opening the steam game i updated my pc bc it hadn't updated in a while) also what i do know, my java has been updated, the launcher now wants me to add an account and I know about 4 ways to delete minecraft, lol.
Anyways sorry about the long paragraph but i should mention im using the java edition of minecraft, also if you look up glaceon115 you can find my youtube with a video showing my problem, its not common bc even the first time the person who helped me was a bit stumped (they where a server owner)
I can view the mods i had on the modpack i made if that helps, actually i may go and fiddle with that myself now that i think about it, its broken enough ill see what i can do in the time span this exists.
