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.

    I'm not sure if this is exactly what fixed it, but I had changed my DNS settings from the automatic to the google/1.1.1.1 ones and after changing the custom inserted DNS back to automatic, I used the launcher and didn't see the connection error message. I've also had where it's just worked after restarting the launcher a couple times so not entirely sure if this is exactly what fixed it. Another thing is that the new launcher is ran by microsoft who is incredibly annoying about NAT type especially on xbox servers so could be that as well.

    I also suggest that if you changed your password Microsoft password you relog into the Minecraft launcher with the updated password if you haven't already and see if that works.
