I’m also getting the Error Code: Drowned when trying to sign in on Minecraft for Windows v1.21.120.
I’ve tried every known fix:
Restarting the game and PC
Clearing account sign-in data in Minecraft
Repairing/resetting the Microsoft Store, Xbox app, Gaming Services, and Minecraft
Reinstalling the Xbox Identity Provider
Clearing all cached Xbox/Microsoft credentials (XblGrts, MCLMS, SSO_POP) in Credential Manager
Deleting Minecraft’s local cache folders
Re-adding my Microsoft account and removing this PC from my Microsoft account devices list
The same Microsoft account works on my other Windows computer running Minecraft v1.21.114, and other Microsoft accounts sign in fine on this affected PC.
This strongly suggests it’s a Microsoft account token or device-trust issue specific to this machine, not a local install or network problem.

I found that changing my date of birth on my Microsoft account fixed this problem. If your account is part of a Microsoft family as a child account, try setting your age to 18 or older at account.microsoft.com/profile under Your info → Edit date of birth.
After saving and signing back in, your account should be treated as an adult account. It might take a little while to update, usually within a few hours (around 3 hours in my case).
