Minecraft won't launch the game

Question

I used to play this game on my PC ,but after a complete reboot of PC it won't launch the game anymore. When it is supposed to launch it, it sends me a crash report. I have no idea how to post it over here, so here you go, the whole copy of it:

The two things to note in this error log are the following:

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated

OpenGL: ~~ERROR~~ RuntimeException: No OpenGL context found in the current thread.

These two lines point to an issue with the video card and/or drivers for it. Since you mentioned rebooting the PC a few times, I'm curious if you ment "refresh" or "reformat" as in when you reinstall your operating system.

If that's the case, it's possible the computer is working fine as-is but missing the necessary video drivers to play 3D games properly.

Unfortunately, that's the extent of the answer I can provide without knowing more about the PC. The error log itself doesn't state anything else in regards to what hardware is currently running. If you can update the question with what video card or any other information about the PC, I can point you to the correct location to download updates.

I used to have win7 and updated it to win10 ,but after a while with lots of laggs and buggs install back to win7. Do you need me to send you my windows7 specs? – Catbrace Oct 29 '16 at 15:26
