Minecraft wont load and gets stuck on a black screen

When I try to launch Minecraft Windows 10 / Bedrock Edition, it does not load.
The Mojang Studios logo appears briefly before a black screen comes up and then nothing happens. My cursor turns into the loading icon when I hover over the Minecraft black screen. Sometimes the game crashes as well after staying on the black screen.
I have tried launching the game from the Windows menu, Microsoft Store and GeForce Experience menu and nothing works. I have no idea what the problem is as the game normally works fine.
