Minecraft 1.8.4 or any above will not open. Its weird because 1.8.3 and under will?

One day I accidentally opened a mod world in vanilla Minecraft. I do have forge, but I forgot to use it. So basically it was just super laggy, and if I press tab I had 0 Wi-Fi bars. Then finally it crashed. I tried to reopen 1.8.4 because I hadn't realized I forgot to open forge yet. But when I tried to open 1.8.4, the launcher would just disappear, and Minecraft would not open. Later, I tried opening 1.8.3. It worked. So I tried a lot of the older versions as well. They all worked. And when 1.8.5-1.8.7 came out, I got very excited. So I tried opening 1.8.5. It crashed the same way it did for 1.8.4. Same with 1.8.6 and 1.8.7. I was very disappointed. Ever since, I have been stuck playing on 1.8.3. Any ways I can fix this?

Move all your save files to a thumb drive or a folder on your desktop them uninstall minecraft and reinstall it. My son had a similar problem and that worked for him. But if you don't move your saved stuff you will lose it. Then after it's installed again you can move your saved files back.

Did you uninstall the mod?
