      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.
