Minecraft has always worked great on this computer, until I updated it to Windows 8.1. I'm not entirely sure if it's because of Windows 8.1, or Java, or my graphic cards (Which it claims to be, but I've updated all the needed ones), or whatever. All of my other games work great. Anyways, here's the crash report:

It seems like your video card drivers are outdated.

From your crash report:

[...]
org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Pixel format not accelerated at
org.lwjgl.opengl.WindowsPeerInfo.nChoosePixelFormat(Native Method) at
[...]

From the Mojang Crash help website:

Pixel Format Not Accelerated

This error message is commonly caused by outdated video card drivers. To fix this, you generally need to update your video card drivers, please follow the directions for your Operating System below. If you are having trouble following the directions below, please see this.

To update your drivers, you can go your GPU Manufacturer's website and use their "Auto-Detector" to scan your computer for any out-of-date drivers. If one is found, please install the update.

If The auto-Detector says something like "This is incompatible" or "unable to detect system specs" then try to download the manual driver. The manual driver might not install if it doesn't then open the properties and change compatibility and make it run in Windows 7 compatibility mode that fixed it for me.
