MCL-10279Launcher can't start if the .minecraft folder in appdata is a symlink
Tested both the Windows(alternative), and the installed file which seems to be the same actual exe.
No error messages, it just closes within a fraction of a second.
Removing the symlink allows the launcher to create a new .minecraft folder and start correctly.
