Minecraft requires elevated Permission when using resources from multiple locations
When loading minecraft from a separate disk than the OS, in this case, my Crucial SSD (C Drive) to the minecraft location set in my profile options (G Drive) the game crashes because of an IOException ' CreateProcess error=740, The requested operation requires elevation'. (I should also note that java is also installed on my G Drive). The crash can be seen from the Launcher log but not the game output.

The problem can be fixed by running the launcher as an administrator.
