Okay, deleted said file and the game's now launching without any(? that I can see at least) issues. Thanks a lot for the help!! Though, indulge my curiosity; what's that file for and how is it so important that it leads to a game crash if it's invalid?

https://pastebin.com/xaJZ0b0v oop, here goes!! Couldn't make a gist on github for the life of me, so I resorted to pastebin, hope it's fine!

Just like the title says-- I have absolutely no idea what's going on and can't even provide logs of any kind because as far as I'm aware mc crashes right as I launch the game, which is to say the console doesn't even have the time to boot up, and no crash reports are provided. I'm running forge on 1.19.3 with version 44-1.23 and only small, client-side mods which aren't even in the game files right now (I took them out to figure out the root of the issue but removing mods doesn't change a thing). The plan was to use this on a multiplayer server I made with some friends, but in the end I only got to launch the game a couple times to try it out and configure the mods. During one attempt my laptop bluescreened while booting up the game and my guess is it stopped working ever since because I kinda gave up after that and only tried again the day after. Do note that only the forge version crashes, the rest can launch without any issues. I've already tried the "conventional" methods of fixing this issue by myself - namely reinstalling Java and forge, removing mods and emptying the versions folder - but so far everything has turned out useless so I'm turning to the only place where I might get a definitive answer which is, well, here. If anyone needs information from somewhere on my pc I can try looking. Really, any help at all is appreciated!
