Unable to launch Minecraft Java Edition, error code 0x803F8001
First time getting Minecraft Java, if I try to open the launcher, it gives me this error:
Minecraft Launcher is currently not available in your account. Make sure you are signed in to the Store and try again. Here’s the error code, in case you need it: 0x803F8001
