Hi there!

Where did you exactly download or install the Minecraft Launcher? From the Minecraft website or through the Microsoft Store?

Be sure to sign in your correct account through the Xbox app and the Microsoft Store.

If you've acquired your Minecraft game license through Game Pass, please confirm if you got the Game Pass for PC and not the Game Pass for Console via https://account.microsoft.com/services.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. Try to install the game on the same partition where your system is installed, in my case, it is the C disk, it worked for me, hope this helps you too.

*Thanks in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.
