Minecraft Java Won't Launch Even After Clean Reinstallation of Windows 11
I have been unable to launch any version of Minecraft Java since around the time when we had the Windows 11 issue that locked the keyboard upon startup and required a restart to unlock it. After trying multiple other fixes for Minecraft over the past few weeks, I finally did a complete reinstallation of Windows 11 hoping that would help, but it did not solve the problem. I’m posting a screenshot of the error message that I receive when I create a new installation in Minecraft Java and try to launch it. After I close the error message, if I try to launch it again, my computer completely freezes, and my keyboard locks up. I have to force shutdown using the power button.
I would really appreciate any insights that anyone has!

Please upload the screenshot of the error message you receive when creating a new Minecraft installation. This can provide specific clues about the root cause.
The screenshot that I posted above is the error message that I most often receive when I create a new installation and try to run it. I have also received this error message once in a while.
Ensure your Windows 11 is fully updated. Sometimes, system updates include fixes for hardware and driver issues.
Update your keyboard drivers: Visit your PC or motherboard manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers.
