MCL-21741Launcher asks me to create profile name despite playing for years
I just migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft account on Minecraft, but now it's treating me like a new user, saying that I have to create a profile name. I type my username in (Nick1Buns), and it says it was taken, most likely by me. How do I get it my skins and old stuff back before this migration stuff took place?

As the title notes, both the launcher/website are requesting me to enter a new username as if my account is new; however, I have owned this account since 2012 and have played every day for the past 6 years without any issues. The username in question is "Elxtra"
I have attached a screenshot below as well.
The following user posted a similar bug report but it was marked as resolved without having resolved it, one might want to review it as well <MCL-21741>

Double check that you're logged in with the right account - and login to the Microsoft Store with that same account as well just to be safe.
@Donuts1000 i am logged in with the right account. still the same.

this aint a duplicate, all the other posts are just really similar
Same problem, but only after login. When I restart the launcher, it works as normal.
Hey Nick did you ever solve it?
