The new Minecraft Launcher for Windows allows me to be logged in. But won't "connect to minecraft services" leaving me completely stranded, unable to play the games I rightfully own even in offline mode.
I am NOT a Game Pass subscriber and own all the Minecraft titles for multiple years.
Restarting or reinstalling the launcher does not work in my circumstance.
(Would like to note I also moved my profiles over to this new launcher, which is why you see an Optifine profile. even in a completely fresh profile system it still doesn't connect.)

I disagree on this being a duplicate, as I actually own the games and not a game pass subscriber. Please change this to it's own bug instead.
MCL-16570 is the old "Demo" issue. The help article in MCL-19984 is still viable.
The old "Demo" issue unfortunately doesn't seem to apply to me. As my issue is happening on the new launcher. The old launcher works perfectly fine.
Since the reporter of MCL-16570 isn't updating the "Affects Version/s" field for the current launcher release, you may request that it be updated at Community Support. I'm sure its a valid request but it seems like a foregone conclusion.
