Minecraft for Windows 10 edition opens as a demo, although it was purchased

Hello!

I have a problem, I bought Minecraft Bedrock Edition for Windows 10 from the Microsoft Store, however, when I start the game, the demo version of the game starts. I already wrote to support, but nothing they said to do helped me. I've reinstalled the game, restarted my account - all to no avail. What should I do?

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Go to Minecraft.net and download the Windows 7/8 launcher. That should work.

It appears the Windows 10 launcher is bugged.

No, for some reason Minecraft.net does not show the purchased Minecraft Bedrock Windows 10 Edition. I did not run minecraft through the launcher, I downloaded it from the Microsoft store and just opened it without using the launcher.

Try to get the launcher from here https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

Unfortunately, you need to purchase Minecraft Java Edition. Check the Minecraft: Windows
10 Edition FAQ for more information.

Hello,

Minecraft for Windows 10 included with the purchase of Minecraft: Java Edition?

Well Players who have purchased Minecraft: Java Edition before October 19th, 2018 can get Minecraft for Windows 10 for free by visiting their
Mojang account.

(sorry if not much help)
