Have to End Task from Task Manager to get Minecraft to open.

When I launch Minecraft java edition from Minecraft Launcher, it freezes at the Mojang logo.

To get Minecraft to actually load up the main menu, I have to go to task manager, and close Minecraft Launcher.

This has to be done every time I launch the game.

 

I have tried completely reinstalling Minecraft and Java, without any change.

I also tried closing all other unneccessary applications, which did not help.
