    So, I recently got a new computer with Windows 10 and when I downloaded Minecraft, it wouldn't really open.
    I tried updating my graphics driver because the same issue happened with my old laptop when I first started using it, but it said that there's no new updates. I'm not sure why it says that because my Minecraft says that my drivers are old or something.
    Every time I open Minecraft and click the play button, this shows up:

    Then, whenever I click "Fix The Problem", it takes me to this link:
    http://hopper.minecraft.net/help/pixel-format-not-accelerated/

    After I go there and scroll down to the Windows section, I followed the instructions and tried both the manual and auto-detector.
    When I downloaded the auto-detector and scanned for a new graphics card, it said my driver was up to date.

    I'm not really sure what else to do? I've restarted my computer multiple times, reinstalled Minecraft, and restarted the Minecraft launcher many times too. I've tried downloading both the .msi and .exe files but both show this..
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

    Then the only thing you can do is to call a technician and tell them your problem

    There is too much space on your computer.

    You normally just have to delete and uninstall useless items on your computer.

    That's almost certainly not the reason.

    I would recommend going into device manager and uninstalling the drivers for your card and then reinstalling them.

    Right click card > Properties > Drivers > Uninstall

    Already looked at that.
    Thing is, I updated to Windows 10 a really long time ago, so it won't let me downgrade.

    -sorry for the double post-
    It just screws up my computer and the screen goes black when I do this, so I have to keep restarting it until it works. Soooo this doesn't work either. :/
