When no minecraft files are present, the game downloads it's files as desired, but then when files are present, it launches and instantly crashes, crashing with an exit code of 1.

I have tried deleting the .minecraft folder, reinstalling java and updating drivers but to no avail, the game just crashes every time I try to launch it.

I would like help with this, please, as I am at a complete loss of what to do about this situation.
