I wonder if anyone has run across something similar. I am fairly computer savvy, but I am at my wits end.
My daughter has a Toshiba Satellite laptop. It has Intel 5500 graphics and runs Win10 It USED to run Java Minecraft just fine. But now, once you select a profile, it shows Mojang splash screen and just gets stuck there. After a while, it goes into "Not Responding" state and if you close it, it says "Java(TM) Platform SE Binary is not responding." Her Java MC account works fine on other PCs. I tried disabling the security (Norton 360), no effect. I tried rolling graphics drivers back to older version - also no go.
I looked at logs under .minecraft, and I see it has:
[18:25:25] [Sound Library Loader/INFO]: Starting up SoundSystem...
[18:25:26] [Thread-9/INFO]: Initializing LWJGL OpenAL
[18:25:26] [Thread-9/INFO]: (The LWJGL binding of OpenAL. For more information, see http://www.lwjgl.org)
[18:25:26] [Thread-9/INFO]: OpenAL initialized.
And this is it. Looking at the log on a PC where MC works fine, the following line is supposed to be:
[11:48:26] [Sound Library Loader/INFO]: Sound engine started
But that never seems to come up.
I tried using both the bundled java and installing Java environment and pointing to that... again no effect.
A complete delete and reinstall of MC also had no effect. If anyone has any suggestions, I appreciate any help! Thanks.
You didn't state what version(s) of MC are being played. When you say "used to", what version was that, and is it the same version your getting the lock up now? Have you updated to the latest version of Java, and did you install 64 bit Java if the OS is 64 bit?
Last question: is the laptop Win 10 compliant? I don't mean can it run Windows 10, is the hardware and drivers Win 10 compliant?
Ok, it is a 64-bit OS, and Java is also 64-bit. Under profile settings, I tried both using bundled Java runtime and the one independently installed. (jre1.8.0.171)
As to what changed: laptop had a bit of a maleare problem and I needed to do some heavy cleaning, but fairly sure MC stopped working before that. It was set to just load the latest, and did work at least till 1.12, but a I tried all versions from 1.8 to 1.12 just in case.
I wonder if there is a more detailed problem report available (core dump?) other than that tiny file under .minecraft/logs. It looks like the game does not crash but rather hangs waiting for something until it finally times out.

"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."
It is a fairly new laptop, and it came with Win10 originally instaled. In fact, it runs Win10 (Bedrock) MC just fine.
It ran Java MC at least up to 12.2. I will need to double-check the OS/Java bit version tonight.
