Windows 10: Minecraft Launcher and Minecraft Java edition

I bought Minecraft Java edition a month or two ago. I got Java edition to play with my cousin since he had that version and it's really fun to play by myself as well. Then I wanted to play with my girlfriend but she played on her phone. So I bought and downloaded the Windows 10 edition so I could play with her and anyone playing on console. Windows 10 edition ran fine on my computer and I played that for a while. Then I decided to go back to my world in Java but when I clicked on Minecraft Launcher, instead of bringing me to the menu that lets you select Java edition, it loads a grey window and never brings the menu up. It then says that Minecraft Launcher is not responding. Please tell me how to fix it if it's possible. Is it not possible to have both versions of Minecraft on one PC. Did getting Windows 10 edition mess with the files of Minecraft Java edition. I'll also let you know that before I played the Windows 10 edition I let my computer download and install a bunch of updates to make it run better. Please respond soon. Thank you.

Setting Microsoft Family app limit on Minecraft Java edition

Time spent using Minecraft Java edition doesn't show up in the list of apps used in Microsoft Family. This means you can't set an app limit on it. Minecraft launcher shows up, but it only says it has been used for 1 minute, whereas i know the game has
been played for hours. How can parental controls be applied here? It works for Minecraft Windows 10 edition but not Java.
