Also found this blog, it's the same to me with the Junction Point: MCL-5569

I just did test it out myself on a Virtual Machine.
An installation on a normal setup windows 10 works fine and the launcher starts normally.

If there is a Junction Point in use for the users folder the Launcher is unable to start in foreground and stays as a zombie process in background.
Funily it still creates the .minecraft folder in %appdata% and uses resources off from my system.

Hope you can fix it. I wanna play Minecraft without being forced to push my Userfolder back to drive C: just for one game.

Does MCL-5294 or MCL-5436 describe your issue?

Also note that you might be able to use --workDir.

MCL-5436 --workDir solved the problem.

Minecraft Launcher now starts as a single process in foreground.

Thx for the help.
