I've done it! go to your files, and at the top in the search bar type this exactly %appdata% (withought the spaces) scroll down to the bottom there should be two files(technic-launcher, and technic-launcher.jar.bak) move Only technic-launcher.jar.bak to the .techniclauncher folder and try to run technic again it should work

Thanks! now when i opened %appdata% i found the .techniclauncher folder but i found a technic-launcher executable jar file and a technic-launcher.jar BAK file outside that folder in the Appdata/roaming folder, and both files were also inside the .techniclauncher folder, and upon deleting the extra BAK file the launcher resumed working again
