Sadly, I think that's our only option.

You uninstalled and reinstalled and it just hang. JSON call out probably initiated but couldn't complete it's loop and go stuck. That you uninstalled and reinstalled the program is pretty solid evidence that there is a java corruption in your OS itself causing the root issue.

Pull as much over as you can to an eternal HDD, reformat, and drop it back in.
