I'm getting the same message and when I go to my program files (x86) -> Minecraft -> tmp, there's nothing in there unless I'm actually launching the minecraft. But when I'm launching the minecraft I see the tmpLauncher.tmp but I can't delete it or move it because it'll say "The action can't be completed because the file is open in Minecraft launcher." I got the "Problem moving C:/Program Files (x86)/Minecraft/tmp/tmpLauncher.tmp to MinecraftLauncher.exe with error code 5" message the other week but it fixed and now it came back. Idk what to do.
Just go to the File of your minecraft folder [Minecraftlauncher.exe this exists in the folder] go ahead and delete TMP folder and then open the launcher then let it download it automaticly. that Worked with me i was even looking for a solution.
I checked that Mojang page, it did not give me any solutions.What would happen if I reinstalled the launcher and how would I reinstall it? (I'm not really tech-savvy)
I tried what you guys said but it still does not work

I copied and pasted tmp folder to my desktop, then proceeded to delete it from the Minecraft folder. Still does not work. Any suggestions?

It will be recreated by the launcher if you still have it open

To fix it:Is there a java update? if yes update it then it should be fixed if not then i dont know
Updating java doesnt fix it, Minecraft bundles its own version
