Minecraft Bedrock - Asking me to unlock game that I own.

Hello Jeans007,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

Based on your description, you get a message unlock game. If this error message could have been Demo version, then it could be best explained by this support article from the Minecraft Support - I Can Only See The Demo in Minecraft: Bedrock Edition | Minecraft Help. However, since it is different, we can try to check if your account signed into the game is the one that stores your license to play Minecraft Bedrock. We have here steps for you to determine and we would like to ask you questions about your set up to further assist you.

1. May we ask for the screenshot of the issue? Please conceal any personal information like gamertag/username, full name and email address.

3. Did you install the Minecraft Launcher on Microsoft Store? Or did you install the game's app version? Try to install this instead - Minecraft Launcher | Microsoft Store
   
4. Did you previously install Minecraft and play it before you made an upgrade to your computer? Is your computer updated?
   
5. Is this the only game you are having issues with?
   

We look forward to your response.

Basically, it is asking me to pay money even though I OWN Minecraft Bedrock on Windows.

Oh, thank you so much for letting me know and I apologize for the trouble. If I may ask, are you trying to play Minecraft Java Edition or Minecraft Bedrock Edition?
