Minecraft won't load a world.

[Retrowire]

I've run Minecraft on this computer before upgrading to Windows 10. So I don't know if that's the problem but... basically I get an error complaining about minidumps not being enabled?

My Java is up to date, my integrated and dedicated GPU's are up to date on their drivers. I've tried everything that I know to do, does anyone have any ideas?

Here's the error that my console spit out.

# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

Any ideas?

your java is not up to date, you are running update 25, most recent one is 73.
Have you looked at the error log mentioned in there? that hs_err_pid3636.log?
Do you use minecraft launcher and if so, when did you update the launcher last time?
Does the crash happen when running the launcher or when launching the actual game?

However, that access violation hints at folder permissions having possibly gone bonkers during the update or something.
You could try deleting appdata\roaming\.minecraft folder (or renaming it if it has saves/worlds you want to use) as a test measure causing launcher to create it again.
If that works, copy saves/worlds back and... you should be good to go.

Well we've definitely deleted the entire appdata and redownloaded the launcher and everything from Minecraft's website. The error happens while the game loads a world. Not during the launcher.

I'm certain we updated Javascript. We used this link here: http://java.com/en/download/

Is the JRE not what we should be updating?

ETA: Actually, I just checked and I don't know why Minecraft is claiming we have update 25 because we definitely have 73.

you might have two versions installed and minecraft is trying to use old one which is most likely partially uninstalled and thus... crashes.
maybe?
Usually java update will remove older versions but it has happened before.
Verify that c:\program files\java has only jre1.8.0_73
if there are others, check if you can uninstall them.

You could also try running the launcher jar manually with the new version.
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_73\bin\java.exe" -jar %appdata%\.minecraft\launcher.jar
(assuming that is where the launcher.jar is, if you have run the launcher at least once, it's there)

You can also check that in launcher profile, executable tab is not pointing to wrong java version


edit: Crashing on loading the world points towards some problem with that world/save, do other worlds/saves work?

How do I run the launcher manually with a new version? Also, jre1.8.0_73 is the only one installed.

How do I check the launcher profile executable tab is not pointing to the wrong version?

Also, there are no other game saves to try.

You could also try running the launcher jar manually with the new version.
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_73\bin\java.exe" -jar %appdata%\.minecraft\launcher.jar

copy said line in command prompt.
also I am pretty sure there IS some part of old java left since that version of java is run to give that version number.
you could also see what
java -version
says, it should simply show what version of java is being used.

In laucher, bottom left says profile, click on edit. in following screen, near bottom left, there is java settings. by default, both ticks are off. In case the top tick is on or off, it should point to new java version.
For me, it is C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_73\bin\javaw.exe

as for save games, you are aware that you can start a new single player world? Sure, you don't want to play that but it would allow you to see if the game as itself works or if the error is related to that save.

Did you really just ask if I was aware that I can start a new single player world?

How do you think I've been attempting to load worlds before it crashes? I said I have no save files to even load. All I can do IS start a new save. I literally make a new game, the clouds appear above me, the land tries to load and then CRASH.

Yes, I did. Your earlier posts did not specify that you ever tried it.
"The error happens while the game loads a world."
"Also, there are no other game saves to try."

but.. that is besides the point. There is a problem with java version ghosting to 23 and all that.

one option is to try if there is something wrong with user profile though, create new user, run minecraft with that.
If it works, use that profile instead and migrate your other files/settings to it.
