Go to https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download and download the Windows 7/8 launcher. That should work.

Hello,

Are you launching this as an administrator?

Right-click the Minecraft Launcher icon > Properties.
Choose "Run as Administrator"

Thank you

I'm using freshly installed Windows 10, I reset the store and restarted, but this didn't change anything. Then I installed the Minecraft launcher, I logged in with my Microsoft account and it provided me the options for three versions with following buttons:

Minecraft Java Edition / Play demo

Minecraft For Windows / Install

Minecraft Dungeons / Buy Now

When I installed the Windows version the "Install" button turned to "Play", but when I launch the game it asks me to "Sign in" and then to "Unlock Full Game" by buying Starter or Master Collection.

Same, freshly installed Windows 11, only app is the regular Valorant client. Other Xbox games like Minecraft install fine.
