Bedrock will not load

Start in Minecraft Launcher. Sign in. Click on Bedrock. Click on Play. Loading window opens at 31%, but the wheel does not spin and the game never loads. Frozen. There are no updates. Restarted the PC and tried again, but the same thing just keeps on happening. Also tried opening Bedrock without using the Launcher, but same problem.

Minecraft Launcher v.3.1.13-2.0.16

Bedrock version unknown since it will not fully load.
