NOTE: 2.1.14948 is missing from the Affects Versions list
Previously I could launch the launcher using the following arguments from my directory:
C:\Minecraft>MinecraftLauncher.exe --workDir .Now I have to specify the full path for it to accept the path:
C:\Minecraft>MinecraftLauncher.exe --workDir C:\Minecraft\Linked issues

This is no dublicate of MCL-20059 because MCL-20059 talks about the MISSING workDir option in WindowsStore Launcher, but this issue handles the existing workDir Option in the Java-Lauchner, that lost the abbility to handly relative directories.
p.s. this issue still exists in Launcher core version: 2.3.280 (420153dd4d97cde894c594c99c4dbaaee5da3470).
In my case the Launcher opens, but when using a relative path it shows "non existent" error when you hit the play button.
I can confirm as I got hit by this too. My relative path is
minecraft, but attempting to launch Minecraft (any version) results in a crash (exit code 0;Error: Could not find or load main class net.minecraft.client.main.Main) (which I contextless reported at MCL-19780 (I’ll ask that be closed as “Incompete”))
