When I open the software it will load the marketplace like normal but after a few seconds it will show the error message below and make the marketplace unaccessible and sign me out of my microsoft account. I am able to sign back in however I have to every time I open the game as it always signs me out. Once I sign into the account I can play online like normal. Also technically the version is 1.16.221. Didn't show up when I typed in the versions. I don't know if that affects anything but just to clarify. I also know of one other person who is in my area that is also playing minecraft on Switch and is having this issue as well.
