Minecraft launcher from store (and webdownload) is broken..
I had the neighbours kid come over with his Laptop to get help with Minecraft launcher updated yesterday and not working anymore.
Testing a few ordinary things, Java update, Win updates, drivers, etc
Nothing worked!
Figured I test update my own Minecraft launcher!? And gues what? It also gracefully craches without launching!!!
Tried stopping every app/service that could conflict. No Go!
Can you please fix the launcher?
Guess at the moment 200.000+ kids in norway are wondering why the launcher update totally messed up their gaming weekend.

</Event>The Minecraft.exe file in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_1.0.104.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe"
is somewhat messed up.
It's missing all normal file properties.
Looks like the MicrosoftStore is distributing a faulty Minecraft.exe file, or that the Store Download and Windows is not able to complete saving the file to disk?
Mojang/MS-Store needs to fix this 2021-11-10 update.
Version="1.0.104.0" is the version listed in MicrosoftGame.Config
"MSStoreDistribution" not verifying when distributing to regional MSAzureDatacenters?

Checked my userfolder, and Minecraft never gets installed properly.
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft are not created when running launcher. (hence no further logs there either)
%temp%\MineCraftlauncher is also empty.
Windows Error reporting also kicks up an Info event in EventViewer, and creates a log.
Added Report.wer to this case.
Updates OS to 21H1 (still same result)
WER creates a log and windows creates an error log.
