[MCL-21741] Launcher asks me to create profile name despite playing for years

I just migrated my Mojang account to a Microsoft account on Minecraft, but now it's treating me like a new user, saying that I have to create a profile name. I type my username in (Nick1Buns), and it says it was taken, most likely by me. How do I get it my skins and old stuff back before this migration stuff took place?

Double check that you're logged in with the right account - and login to the Microsoft Store with that same account as well just to be safe.

Same problem, but only after login. When I restart the launcher, it works as normal.
