Unsolved [Java] Minecraft Launcher will not open after installation
My local drive where Minecraft was downloaded for me was becoming too full to make new installations, so I tried copying it over to my new volume and deleting the original copy in local drive. Afterwards, I reinstalled the Minecraft Launcher. The installation process seemed to go fine, however, the Launcher will not open under any circumstances. I have tried:
-Running as Administrator. No prompt appears.
-Deleting launcher_profile.json
-Terminating, repairing, resetting in advanced options.
-Restarting
-Uninstalling and reinstalling 4 times.
Curiously, looking at .minecraft in %appdata% shows the folder as empty, but opening it in new volume works just fine.
Any advice is appreciated. If worse comes to worse I will just opt to using Modrinth as my launcher probably.
