      Here's how to disable the beta launcher again:

      If you switched to the beta launcher and can't log in, you can switch back by editing launcher_profiles.json in your minecraft folder. Change the "channel" field from "beta" to "release".

      The bug

      The launcher is closed immediately after being opened. I am on the beta channel. This is happening since the launcher has been released. Switching to the release channel by editing launcher_profiles.json solves the issue.

      I have attached the launcher log, as well as the native log.

      To reproduce

      1. Open launcher
      2. Go to "Settings"
      3. Enable beta versions
        → Launcher closes. When trying to open it again, it'll close again
