Minecraft launcher wont install on microsoft store

I have been trying to fix this problem for months now, but I can't seem to get minecraft or any other games downloaded through microsoft store. It's either that it's stuck on an infinite loading screen or wont even open and install at all.

Unfortunately, it wont let me paste or attach any images so I'm going to try to explain what is happening:

For minecraft launcher: I try to install the game by clicking "Install", then I am prompted a pop-up window stating that "We'll install this game to a new folder or location" and under that there is a blank box with two lines in it. I try clicking install under it but nothing happens.

I've tried countless of solutions such as resetting microsoft store and updating windows 10, but nothing fixed it. I can't really reset my operating system.

The account that made the purchase most log in the Microsoft store app, and get the new launcher, it's free, that Microsoft store wont show the purchase of Minecraft if was trough Mojang site but will work trough the launcher

Hi LucaGamer777, I hope you're doing great despite the issue you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

If you're pertaining to Minecraft for Windows, I'm sorry but no, the current Minecraft Launcher on Minecraft is not compatible with the game which means that you will be needing to install the game still through the Microsoft Store or install the new and updated Minecraft Launcher on Microsoft Store/Xbox App to install the game inside of the launcher.
