[MCL-12722] Minecraft Launcher is Black but Buttons are still there

Possible Workaround

This issue might be fixed by ensuring you have installed the latest graphics driver.

When I open my Minecraft launcher, I get a blank grey screen. All the buttons and everything is still there (I can tell because my cursor changes shape) but I can not tell what I am pressing. I have tried:

reinstalling Minecraft,
using the compatibility option,
disabling it from all security features
restarting my computer.

I have a hp laptop, windows 7. Please help quickly

P.S. My computer is extremely old and is full viruses that we are trying to get rid of.
