After not playing Win. 11 MC for a while, the game got several updates behind. Whenever I come back after not playing for a while, the launcher is not able to check for and/or receive updates. So I am currently stuck on 1.19.22. I had this same issue back in late August of this year.

Yes I did try reinstalling the game. It fixed the issue, but only temporarily. As soon as I got multiple updates behind after not opening the launcher for several weeks, the game would not update. How to recreate the bug: Get the game and don't play it for 2 months. There's not anything more I can say than that.
I'm using the launcher from minecraft.net. Not the MS store app. I don't use a VPN. I am signed into all Xbox and Microsoft apps with the same account. Xbox is up to date.
Hi!
Can you please install Launcher version from MS store / Xbox app?
(Uninstall the game and old Launcher before the installation of new Launcher)

Hi!
Did you try to install the Launcher from other places like I asked?
Also, do you have app updates turned on in MS Store?

Hi again!
Can you check if when you try to install MC, the installation process starts on MS store or Xbox app?

It just now installed when I tried to install it. I had no issues installing Java or Bedrock.
I saw the MS Store app open in the background. Xbox also was running in the background and came into view in task manager because its CPU usage when up. I only saw the Xbox app while the MS Store launcher was installing. I saw the MS Store in the background processes for the majority of the time.
It was almost as though the launcher had a personality. It only installed just now when I was taking a screen recording so that bug hunters could see the process list in task manager if there were any problems that occurred.
Hi there!
Could you answer few questions regarding this issue, it will help with the investigation:
Are you logged in in both Xbox app, MS store, and Launcher with the same MS account?
Have you tried signing out of all your Windows Apps, and the signing in again?
Is your Windows and associated apps (Xbox app, MS store) up-to-date (check for updates regardless)?
Do you have enough free space on your disc drive?
Have you tried uninstalling and installing the Game again?
Do you have app updates enabled in MS store?
Please also uninstall the Launcher, delete .minecraft folder (copy its content elsewhere before deletion) and then reinstall, restart your computer. Then please try to boot the Launcher.
Do you use VPN or any of the incompatible software on machine you try to log-in?
Could you provide us with more in-depth repro steps?
