Every time I try to download Forge 1.12.2, it always turns into a JAR file but I can't actually open it. Can anybody help?

It downloads and registers as a .JAR file, but when I click it, it just turns into a Notepad file and shows a bunch of weird symbols. It worked a while back when I downloaded Forge 1.16.5, but now there's no Forge installer for me, just the note. Does anybody know what's wrong?

Error Code -1073741819 On new PC no matter the mod no mater the version, even normal java minecraft gives the same erro

2 Weeks ago i got a new laptop and installed on it curseforge and normal minecraft and java, and wanted initialy to test how some modpacks would run to then start a new world to play when i had time.
Fresh windows 11 install, i wouldn't think anything could happen but bam error -1073741819, and i can't find any way to remedy this. I reinstalled java, updated drivers, reinstalled minecraft, launchers, even prism launcher, tried eclipse temurium instead of normal java... nothing seems to work
