New Minecraft Launcher Refuses Installation
I'm just taken aback on why there hasn't been any clarity on why after owning this game for years, the new launcher won't allow me to install let alone play from the Microsoft store.
I'm truly hoping this isn't intended.
If it isn't, it seems like this launcher was released half baked.
I'm sure this isn't a problem with my system since, one I'm not the only one, and two I've tried all online fixes to no avail.
I'd love some clarity or a timeline on when this will be fixed since I certainly can't use the last launcher.
Article describing said issue
to clarify; I own Java and don't plan on buying bedrock (especially since it's not working now, how would I know if it'd work for the bedrock version) and didn't think I'd have to.

i dont see this issue exactly, but could be related to MCL-20370 ...
When Ever i open the launcher and navigate to the bedrock portion of the new launcher, it says "not playable on this device", even though i have bedrock edition via the Microsoft Store.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the minecraft store and buy/download Minecraft for Windows + Launcher & Minecraft for Windows.
2. Open the Minecraft Launcher.
3. Navigate to "Minecraft for Windows"
Expected Result: Green button says "Play"
Actual Result: green button says "Not playable on this device"
I do have a work around that im using:
1. go to the microsoft store and open your library.
2. find "Minecraft for Windows", and click on the "..." next to "Launch".
3. click on "Pin to start".
4. Open Start (or hit the windows key) and drag minecraft from start to the desktop.
5. run the shortcut, and Bedrock Edition will run as normal.

Existe alguna solucion? Yo no puedo jugar Java ni bedrock por este problema.
