    Can't open Minecraft with error code -1073741819


    Hello, I tried to open my Minecraft (Java Edition)by the minecraft launcher yesterday but it crashed with error code -1073741819. I have tried to google the solution but they just said that maybe I download the D3Dgear but I didn't. I also tried to reinstall the minecraft launcher, check the update of driver, or even reinstall Windows but it didn't work too. My computer is Microsoft Surface Laptop 7th Edition. I even tried other version of minecraft but it have the same result.

    :)
