Minecraft Windows 10 Mobile Achievement issues

Hi all,

Windows Phone recently got a quiet patch to fix achievements on all Microsoft Store games which is fantastic. However, Minecraft does not load the Achievements menu under Profile and achievement progress does not increment.

The Achievements screen sticks with the loading bar forever. v.1.16.40

I understand that the Windows Phone version is no longer supported going forward, but seeing as it is still on version 1.16 and still connects to the Minecraft store. I would like to complete this game, and people still care about this title. 

Thank you,

Mochawl
