Windows 10: Forza Horizon 4 crashes at startup with Hang Type : Activation

Hello!

Not me, but a friend I’ve been trying to get into horizon

So, basically he purchased Horizon 4 Ultimate Edition via Microsoft Store, downloaded and couldn’t even start the game - crashed after the launch screen. And every time it’s the same error in Even Log - HANG TYPE : Activation

So, we did a clean W10 1909 install and IT LAUNCHED. For two evenings. In the morning of 3rd day he tried to launch it - and the same crash with the same error. NOTHING was changed, the pc was left on overnight with nothing running.

Checking the events through the night - some apps were reconfigured, mainly Cisco and chrome, and MS Get Help (store app) was installed. Rolling those back changed nothing.

Also, while checking outgoing network traffic, it is the same as mine. (I also Have Horizon 4 Ultimate, Win 10 PC )

Also, I checked Event Logs concerning to Microsoft Store Operations, where it can be seen that winstoreauth.cpp asks for a license check, and it goes through. Only errors are for car pass cars, which say that licenses do not match. The same entries are present on my system, but again - everything works.

Every fix on the web has been tried (wsreset, registering forza again, redownloading all MS Store default apps and xbox services, changing Ownership - the works), but nothing has even changed the error code.

Reinstalling Windows again, sadly, is not an option.

Thank you for any help, you can give.

Forza Horizon 4 Crashing

Forza Horizon 4 crashes no matter what i do. Lowering graphics doesnt help as it crashes even tho i set it to high or medium. Im gaming on a 2060 geforce rtx and a ryzen 7 2700x so it makes no sense
that i should be crashing with even ultra settings on. i have 16 gb of ram and about 1 gb is used on idle. I really need help with this as forza horizon 4 is unplayable and i really just want to enjoy the game.
