Back when 1.17 was released I could play the game properly, but about 2 months ago I started having problems. Most of the time the game would crash upon launching, giving me an Exit Code 0. The game output says: "GLFW error collected during initialization: GLFW error during init: [0x10004]63457715488" The same error message appears in 1.16.5 (see 1_16_5.log) but the game loads and works perfectly fine. Older versions are also playable without crashing immediately. For 1.17+ the game output ends with "Process crashed with exit code -1073741819" but I haven't been able to find anything on the Internet fixing this issue. Another interesting thing is that very rarely the game would launch and be playable. I've tried numerous solutions including reinstalling Java, Minecraft and updating the graphics card driver, but nothing has worked so far.

While testing every version that crashes to attach the log files here, I got a different error for 1.18.1 (see redacted_hs_err_pid14508.log) and it says "EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION" The next time I tried launching 1.18.1, despite still getting GLFW error, the game didn't crash and it didn't show any sign of something being wrong.
