Thank you for your help, however I am currently unable to access the minecraft launcher (it can't be opened/launched, is still showing up in the windows search bar, cannot be uninstalled).

Every time I try to download it again from other places (microsoft store application, minecraft installer application, minecraft launcher from the xbox store), I get an error and it tells me it is unable to install

Like I said on my first message, I've already tried this solution, but I tried it again anyways this give me the same result :

- there is no "Repair" option only "Reset" for Microsoft store

- I can't download the Xbox app (0x80073cf9) so reseting it is going to be complicated

- The error 0x80073cf9 is still there
