      Whenever I try to play Minecraft, it will instantly crash my entire PC. This happens for official releases of 1.18 and above. The newest snapshots will get to the menu and play for a minute then crash pc as per usual, and versions 1.17 and below will work fine as far as I've tested. I've already updated drivers, installed Windows updates, reinstalled graphics drivers multiple times over. I've uninstalled Minecraft many times, and reinstalled through Minecraft.net, Microsoft Store, and Xbox app, as well as trying the Windows 7/8 legacy installer. I've also uninstalled any trace of Java and only the one that came default with the launcher is installed. Other games are working fine too. I contacted Microsoft support and they led me here after some failed troubleshooting, they told me it was likely a game issue as older versions work fine. Crash logs are not created for some reason, and regular game logs are blank as the game crashes the PC before it can Launch. I can provide Launcher Logs and an Event Viewer Critical Warning that may be relevant. I hope you can help as this has been a nightmare for the past week for me and so far It seems this report is my first step in the right direction. Thank you.
