The full text is 'Minecraft Launcher is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001' as seen here

even though i own the game (my Minecraft.net account is connected to my Microsoft account) it won't start? Help please

    Hello,

    I had the same issue just now, but I managed to fix it.

    Firstly, I went to "Apps & Features" in the Windows settings and from there, uninstalled the minecraft launcher.

    Then, I downloaded and launched the minecraft launcher from the Microsoft store, instead of from the minecraft website.

    After doing that, Minecraft opened and ran flawlessly as always.

    I hope this helps and have a nice day!

    0x803F8001

    I got the same error code.

    I transferred from mojang to microsoft.

    I played minecraft without any problem before.

    I cannot install on my new computer.

    I checked many posts but still no solution.

    I entered a service tag but it was answered by a player and didn't solve the problem.

    I don't want to pay again for the same game.

    Could you help check it out?

    Thanks.
