Launcher needs daily repair (under "App settings/Reset/repair") followed by computer restart to function.

When first turning on PC, Minecraft launcher does nothing when clicked, no response whatsoever.

Needs to open App setting, click repair, and restart computer every time.

I am not using a beta version.
JAVA is up to date build 1.8.0_401-b10

I've tried all the fixes I've found online:
-delete launcher_profiles.json
-reinstall Minecraft from the Microsoft store
-delete all mods and resourcepacks
-delete version files
-update graphic drivers
-run adware and virus scans

Forums online are loaded with users with this same complaint, and all the fixes suggested that I've found are listed above.

The official responses form Mojang/Microsoft help are to repair or reinstall... which does in fact work but only for that one-time launch, but this shouldn't be a daily requirement.

To date, the only effective "fix" is to repair the launcher and restart my PC every time.

Windows 11
Java 1.8.0_401-b10
Launcher 2.16.12-1.7.2.0
