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 am facing the same problem. Although it shows that I logged in to my Microsoft Account (never created Mojang acc. before), I cannot connect to the minecraft services. The username shows player so it is not that I did not buy it, but it is something wrong with the connection to the server itself. It only allows me to play demo although I paid money for it.

    At least I know I’m not the only one. I hope Microsoft/Mojang can fix this.

    same problem here. i can only play demo after uninstalling the old launcher. i've tried to reinstall from official website, reboot the computer, flush DNS. None of them worked.

    I am having the same problem and it also didn't work for me. I'm gonna be using the old launcher for a while as well until they roll out a patch.
