It's over a year since the original post and I am having the same problem. Is Microsoft never going to fix thier 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.

2022-06-23T14:24:41+00:00 For me this is issue seems to be far worse
It just doesn't work, I have been trying for hours still nothing.
The api seems to not response at all of me, I can't even log into minecraft.net, Gives a error "OOPS, we couldn't validate your info, Please try again. For some reason using a Vpn fixes the issue both on launcher and website but I don't want to use a Vpn because I mainly play Hypixel which doesn't allow Vpns.

2022-02-11T17:29:31+00:00 This did it for me as well although I do not use any mods.
After en exercise in frustration and Techsupport not even reading through my report, I can finally play again without having to change my operating system to windows 10.
Thank you so much!
