Windows 10: Minecraft Launcher Installation Application [Error code 0x80070005]

I have downloaded MinecraftInstaller.exe via minecraft.net on my Windows 10 Home computer PC. Am logged into the Microsoft Store account. I have checked license box and clicked 'install' button. After that the application needs my administrator approve for "host process for windows service" from verified Microsoft Windows. Then there is screen with text "something went wrong", "couldn't install apllication 0x80070005". I checked forums, my problem is diffrent that install bar doesn't even start :https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/minecraftlauncher-installation-error-0x800

Minecraft+Launcher Installation Error 0x80070005

Bought Minecraft + launcher in the Microsoft store on my laptop. (Lenovo Laptop)
I press install and the launcher is installed however the actual game does not and it displays Error code 0x80070005. It downloads up to 90 percent then stops. I have Windows 10

I have tried un-installing and re-installing, restarting my device and could not get results.

 

I can't install the new Minecraft Launcher on my PC.

I have a Minecraft account, but I can't install the recent new launcher since my windows isn't activated. When I try to download it via Microsoft Store it just says error code 0x80070005. Installing it from the Minecraft website didn't work either. How can I install the new launcher without activating windows?
