Minecraft systematically crashes on launch "Exit code:0" but starts second time around

I experience a game crash on launch since before October 21st (don't know exactly when it started, sorry). This is how it goes:

1. I double click the Minecraft Launcher shortcut on desktop => The launcher opens.
2. I click "Play" in the launcher, the non-modded version => The game crashes, cf. attachment MC_CrashAfterLaunch.png
3. I click "Close" and press "Play" again (same non-modded version). The game launches correctly and I can play.

On October 21st (or shortly afterwards), I install OptiFine. The bug disappears. Could be coincidence I guess? I did launch the game almost every day though, so it was noticeable.

On November 2nd, I install the new Win10/11 launcher. My OptiFine version is no longer available in the download list (I guess I will have to reinstall it). I open the launcher and press "play". The bug is back! Same 'exit code:0'.

On second launch (click "play") the game runs. 

I can play, but it's annoying.
