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.

    Don't use the minecraft launcher from Microsoft store just download the minecraft launcher it self. You won't be able to play minecraft: bedrock edition but you'll be able to connect to the servers for java edition.

    It kind of sounds like your saying the solution is to buy a game again thats already owned ,

    figured id give the official launcher a try again , something ive been doing monthly for what seems like an unreasonable amount of time at this point

    Launch the launcher (check)

    Log into Microsoft account (check)

    Loads my xbox account (check) something i did not want and should not be forced to have

    Reloads launcher and shows im logged in top left (EPIC fail) "Oh no something went wrong and can not connect to Microsoft services"

    offline play available only click here to buy the game again ....

    so third party launcher

    Loading tlauncher (check)

    connecting to Microsoft services and validating account (check)

    Game launched and working fine

    Is this something anyone else is experiencing the exact same issue ?

    Ive already done all the normal things installing reinstalling getting updates as it asked and no matter what some thing, Im not a windows user and am not logged into Microsoft 24 hrs a day via something in the windows settings
