The Minecraft Launcher app is currently unavailable in your account. Check if you are logged in to the Store and try again. Here is the error code if you need it: 0x803F8001

I apply some fixes on the pc and use the luncher and it works already
This luncher
https://launcher.mojang.com/download/MinecraftInstaller.msi
refer to MCL-19984 for a possible fix
If you are experiencing this issue/error, please log into the Windows Store as this may resolve it: ms-windows-store://signin (copy and paste into your browser and you will receive a pop-up prompting the Windows Store app to open)

Heya guyz.
Just bought the game and same error 0x80131509 keeps appearing after clicking the installer, my windows is updated and no issues, did anyone find a workaround this problem?
Thx in advanced
Download the old one, when you scroll down you will see "Download for Windows 7/8" click that one to get the old one.
Thank You Cory Russo! Your comment maybe saved me hours of trying useless workaround I found in the net.
I had the error code 0x803f8001 from the windows store, useing windows 10 fully updated.
Useing the old loader works. You'll get an advice to use the new one, which unfortunately doesn't work, but the old one does.
I found an article relating to this exact error code: 0x80131509
See if this solves your issue.
