To my knowledge you shouldn't even have user level ones unless you're a non-admin without access to the system level

Unplug your gamepad/joystick

I'm running the same version and I don't have the issue. Try a clean reinstall of Java, force it to reset the cert store Edit: Listen to Lex before you listen to me

Close but not the same.

Forge's latest version is actually recommended if you want the latest features and is almost never broken, when it is it tends to get fixed rather quickly. Recommended builds are just markers of "Features in this version are guaranteed to be supported until the next major update (almost always a new MInecraft Version)". Forge targets Java 8, and you should always keep Java up to date. As for the issue of double clicking on the jar not working... make sure you have Java installed and if it still doesn't work it may mean that some other program has stolen the .jar file type from Java, you can run JarFix to fix that.

That's just the same error you showed in your first post, debug.log will have A LOT more than that

There's no bug here, just network issues. For some reason your computer is unable to resolve files.minecraftforge.net to an IP address. I'm afraid this is outside my real of expertise, and I'm wondering how you could get the installer from the files site but then your computer forgets the IP

Try removing Optifine

What happens when you double click the jar?

The error you posted is in Mojang code, not mod code, not much we can do there. I would suggest trying a reinstall of the JDK though.

You just run the jar, it should be executable if you have Java installed
