The minecraft launcher decided to take the game away from me

Hi, Steffo. My name is Ron, I'm an independent advisor. I will be more than happy to help you.

Please check first if the transaction for the game is completed from your account's order history on this link, https://account.microsoft.com/billing/orders.

If it's completed, on the Minecraft launcher page, please don't use your old Mojang account login details. You will need to click the "Go back" button on the login screen then click "Add account" and then choose "Microsoft login."

If that doesn't work, please download the other version of the launcher from this link and use it instead, https://launcher.mojang.com/download/MinecraftI....

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Now the hacker is probably away from your account.

Now, please try to follow the steps I sent on one of my previous replies (In this case, please try to reinstall the gaming services and the game. Completely uninstall Minecraft and the Minecraft Launcher. Then, follow the steps below

When I click buy from the Minecraft launcher it takes me to this website https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/store/minecraft-java-edition?ref=Launcher I'm not logged in and it has the option to purchase Minecraft but after logging in to the that website with same Microsoft account that I had logged into the Minecraft launcher with the purchase option is replaced with Already own Minecraft? Download it again. and the launcher download button.

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I have searched Minecraft for Windows on the store and all it comes up with is "Minecraft for Windows Starter Collection" and "Minecraft for Windows + Launcher" I do not own the starter collection, as I am redirected to pay £25 pounds when I click on it, and the Minecraft for Windows + Launcher simply takes me to the launcher when i click play.

Yes, it is the right purchase. Thank you for taking the time to take the screenshot.

This is a common problem affecting Minecraft players recently. What I recommend and usually works, is to try to download the Windows 7/8 launcher. Try playing the game using it. The Windows 10 launcher is having this bug.

Uninstall the current Minecraft launcher on your computer and any Minecraft game that is on it. Restart your computer. Download the Minecraft for Windows 7/8 above and try to play with it. Make sure you sign in with the correct Microsoft Account used for the Migration.

Let me know how it goes.
