org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not create context[]

Problem

When the launcher tries to run Minecraft, you get a crash report that says:

   org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not create context
           at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsContextImplementation.nCreate(Native Method)
           at org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsContextImplementation.create(WindowsContextImplementation.java:50)

           at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source)

Cause

The reason why Minecraft cannot start is that some of its files haven't been downloaded. This is most commonly due to an antivirus program mistakenly blocking some of the files, such as lwjgl.dll or other files.

Solution

Temporarily disable your antivirus program and perform a forced update.
