Launcher doesn't open. Opens Microsoft store instead.

With the Wild update releasing today I wanted to check the launcher to see if it released yet. But when I open the Minecraft launcher (Microsoft store version) it doesn't open the launcher, but opens the Microsoft store to the "Gaming services" app page instead. (See attached screenshot)

I doubt this is an issue with owning the game because I own Java and MCD, and have Windows 10 edition through game pass.

I opened the launcher earlier today so I'm guessing this issue is new with the wild update and "Minecraft: Java and bedrock" releasing today.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open the new Minecraft launcher from the Microsoft store, a desktop shortcut, or the app search.

  2. Instead of opening the launcher, "Gaming services" opens in the Microsoft store.

Uninstalled and reinstalled. It works now.

Closing per reporters comment as cannot reproduce.
