So I tried playing minecraft today for the first time in like a week or so and when i tried playing 1.12.2 i pressed play on the launcher and it displays the frame for minecraft for about a second then goes back to the launcher saying "An unexpected issue has occured and the game has crashed. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I've tried updating windows and updating the graphics card but both have failed.
