Ok. xlaunch is still on the list in [1] and it has worked fine for me
until these problems started.

It seems likely that this is something that happened in the recent Win10
upgrade.  But the problem is figuring out what, since there isn't much
in the way of error messages. :-)

Nope.

It exits after doing nothing.

Unfortunately not.

Here it is:
