It sounds like you are affected by the Intel graphics driver issue on Windows 10.

I can see you are running Java r73. You probably need to downgrade to before r60. You can do this by using the newest Minecraft launcher, msi: https://minecraft.net/download

The other thing to try is updating your video card driver to the latest version.

Why would he need to downgrade Java? Unless the newest versions have a specific bug you know about that interferes with specific program you have in mind you always should use the newest version. – Deltharis Mar 08 '16 at 13:59
