Upon launching any version of the game, no new window opens; particularly, java itself. This is confusing since as far as I know, the launcher runs on java. However, I could be mistaken. Furthermore, after the game does not start, the Game Output section of the launcher is entirely blank, as if it does not know how to grab the files and directories located in the minecraft folder (Which, yes, I have deleted and reinstalled via the launcher). I have made sure all services that could be blocking the game are not on and that I do have a stable version of java and the newest launcher, plus restarting my system a very few 10 times.
Disclaimer: This is my friend's issue, not mine, and I'm writing this up since he doesn't understand how the website works and I'm too impatient to teach him at the current moment. Requests for screenshots can be given, as long as you give time to me.
Thanks for help, Mojang team/anyone else willing to give a hand!
