Microsoft account won't connect to Minecraft services on Minecraft: Java Edition Launcher

Whenever I open the Minecraft launcher signed in as my Microsoft account which is my only account it will show me a message that says: "Oh no! Something went wrong, and we couldn't connect to Minecraft Services" and the Play button is replaced with a Play offline button but once I click that to play offline, it will say I need to make a profile even though I have a profile and have been playing the game until this error occurred. But once I click to create a profile, it will sign me into the Minecraft website and bring me to my account profile screen where it will give me the message: "Something went wrong... press reload to try again." and once I click reload, nothing changes. this error happened on Friday, May 28th.

    Using the old launcher is better for now than the most recent one. I suggest doing the same if you have problems. Just download the launcher for windows 7/8

    I was able to solve the issue for my device! Go to Settings > Privacy > Account Info and change the settings to:

    Allow apps to access your account info: On

    Microsoft Content: On

    Email and accounts: On

    Also, if this doesn't work, try installing 'Xbox Console Companion' from the Microsoft Store and log in with your account, it is the old Xbox app and I had it installed at the moment where it was fixed (no clue whether it had any influence, I uninstalled it now and everything is still working perfectly with just the new Xbox app)

    Hope this helps!
