1.18.2 Forge keeps crashing

[SMG1]

So I was trying to open up Minecraft Forge for 1.18.2, and it was working fine, then a bluescreen happened, then when I tried to boot it up again, strangefully I was greeted by the dirt loading screen, but instead of saying anything coherent it just had a bunch of squares, then it crashed saying it couldn't load up the overlay, giving the -1 exit code. Here's what the crash report said:

One possible solution is to try deleting the forge-common.toml file and letting Forge generate a new one. To do this, navigate to your Minecraft installation folder and locate the config folder. Inside the config folder, look for the forge-common.toml file and delete it. Then, restart Minecraft and see if the issue is resolved.

It worked! Thanks!
