When trying to run Minecraft through the Java Minecraft Launcher, the launcher crashes before the loading bar reaches completion. The associate error code is: -805306369.

I initially tried removing a world file which crashed  right before this started happening however the launcher continued to crash. I then removed all unnecessary files from my .minecraft folder including resource packs, mods, etc. After this failed as well, I then uninstalled and then reinstalled both Java and Minecraft numerous and the crash is still occuring.

Any help is much appreciated!
