[MCL-19516] Minecraft crashes on launch with exceptions

For 3 weeks I have been playing a modded version of minecraft perfectly fine. Yesterday I started having major performance issues, despite having a good computer. I attempted to launch vanilla minecraft to see if I had similar performance issues, but was not able to launch ANY version of vanilla.

I've taken a large amount of troubleshooting steps.

Uninstall CurseForge.
Uninstall Minecraft
Uninstall Java
Delete any leftover files from them
Delete any leftover Registry keys from them
Restart, re-install Java, another restart, re-install vanilla minecraft.
I made sure nothing except minecraft was running.
I launched as an admin

Same issue.

I've made sure that the Java Executable arguments are set to: -Xmx2G per some article I found.

I've ensured all of my drivers are up to date.

I've ensured my Windows is up to date.

I've ensured Java is up to date.

I ran hardware diagnostics.

I've followed several other things that were recommended from the initial ticket that put me in communication with one of the Minecraft Gamers

A single recommendation did work. The alternative (.exe) launcher from [here

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative]The alternative launcher, however, ONLY works if I leave it in my downloads folder. If I move it ANYWHERE except for the downloads folder or try and put it in it's own folder nested inside the downloads folder, it immediately goes back to the above error.

This may not be relevant, but who knows?

The modpack I've been playing for weeks is based on 1.12.2 and I had 0 issues. Now that I can get vanilla minecraft to launch using the alternative launcher, I have no issues in 1.17.1, but the moment I switched to 1.12.2 (vanilla) I started having performance issues. Every 2 - 5 seconds I will have 1-2 seconds of a massive lag spike that makes the game unplayable in survival mode.

Attached below are a few of the crash logs, picked at random, from the couple dozen.

My specs are:

HP Omen 15 laptop

Windows 10 21H1
