When I launch the Windows version of Minecraft (regardless of whether I'm using the Minecraft Launcher), a pop-up appears saying, "Let's get started, [Username]!" Clicking "Let's get started" displays the title screen, but I'm not signed in to my Microsoft account. When I try to sign in, I get an error code "Drowned," and I'm unable to sign in.
Things I've tried: ① I repaired four apps from Windows Settings: Minecraft for Windows, Minecraft Launcher, Xbox, and Xbox Live. ② In "Services," I changed the startup type of "Xbox Live Authentication Manager," "Xbox Live Networking Service," and "Game Services" to "Automatic," restarted the services, and then restarted my PC. ③ I cleared the Microsoft Store cache.
None of these three methods solved the problem.
