Verify your signed in with an active subscription or with the accountt hat owns the game. If you cant access this content and have a valid subscription, the game may have left the game pass catalog. otherwise purchase the game from the xbox app if you dont own it." with all this being said, minecraft is still in the game pass catalog, and i do have a valid subscription. pls help

    Hi! please confirm that you have signed with the email account that owns the subscription in the Microsoft Store app, confirm the account here:

    https://account.microsoft.com/services

    If you are, log out of the Microsoft Store and the Xbox app, restart your device and log back again with the same email account.

    To reset the Microsoft Store in Windows 11, you can follow these steps:

    1. Press Windows + I to open the Settings app.
    2. In the left pane, select Apps.
    3. Scroll down and click on Installed apps.
    4. In the list of installed apps, locate Microsoft Store. You can search for it using the search bar if needed.
    5. Click the three vertical dots next to Microsoft Store, then select Advanced options.
    6. Scroll down and click the Reset button. This will clear the cache and restore the Microsoft Store to its default state.
