How to start 2 programs simultaneously in windows command prompt

I am using Windows 7 64bit

Here is the code snippet I am using to start

@echo off
call "C:\Program Files (x86)\LOLReplay\LOLRecorder.exe"
call "G:\League of Legends\lol.launcher.exe"
exit

But unless I close LOLRecorder.exe it won't start my lol.launcher.exe.... basically I want both running and the cmd prompt exit after they start. Whats wrong here? I checked out another stackoverflow answer Here but it refers to the same method I am using.

EDIT:

With the start command it just starts 2 terminal windows and nothing starts!

@echo off
start "C:\Program Files (x86)\LOLReplay\LOLRecorder.exe"
start "G:\League of Legends\lol.launcher.exe"
exit
windows-console command-prompt windows-7 cmd command-line

Someone wandering may be interested in checking correctness of all drives in the same time. Here is a simple .bat file for that:

@echo off
for %%a in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist %%a:\ start cmd /c "echo %%a: & chkdsk %%a: & pause"

Script waits for key after checking each drive. Each drive has its own cmd window.

You should avoid checking and fixing (above is only checking) drives, where one drive is a container in another (eg. VeraCrypt container, VHD, VHDX).
