Minecraft launcher from store (and webdownload) is broken..

Minecraft launcher from store (and webdownload) is broken..
I had the neighbours kid come over with his Laptop to get help with Minecraft launcher updated yesterday and not working anymore. 
Testing a few ordinary things, Java update, Win updates, drivers, etc
Nothing worked!
Figured I test update my own Minecraft launcher!? And gues what? It also gracefully craches without launching!!!
Tried stopping every app/service that could conflict. No Go!

Can you please fix the launcher?
Guess at the moment 200.000+ kids in norway are wondering why the launcher update totally messed up their gaming weekend.

Eventlog/Application Gives some clues:

The Minecraft.exe file in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_1.0.104.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" 
is somewhat messed up.
It's missing all normal file properties.
Looks like the MicrosoftStore is distributing a faulty Minecraft.exe file, or that the Store Download and Windows is not able to complete saving the file to disk?
Mojang/MS-Store needs to fix this 2021-11-10 update.
Version="1.0.104.0" is the version listed in MicrosoftGame.Config
"MSStoreDistribution" not verifying when distributing to regional MSAzureDatacenters?
