  1. Forza Horizon 4 - Download not Starting


    I have recently purchased the Forza Horizon 4 but when I try to download it through Microsoft Store it only shows downloading but actual download process never starts Network usage remains zero. But when I download any other application from the store it works fine. Even the Forza Horizon 4 Demo downloads from the store without any issues, but my owned game never starts download It only shows downloading. So far I have also done following steps, but there is no luck for me.

    i. I have done resetting the Windows Store.

    ii. I have logged out then again logged in.

    iii. Left the system as it is in downloading mode for about 2 hrs but a single MB is not downloaded at same time other application downloads fine.

    Please help me out. I do not know what kind of problem is this.

    :)

    Downloading Forza Horizon 4 stuck at "Starting Download"

    Hi all. I'm trying to download Horizon 4 via Game Pass from the Microsoft Store. If I download the "Forza Horizon 4 Standard Edition", it gets stuck at "Acquiring License" infinitely and the downloads list shows Horizon 4 as "Starting Download", and if
    I try just downloading the app just called "Forza Horizon 4", it stays stuck at "Starting Download".

    These are the things I've tried:

    In-Place Windows Upgrade to fix my install

    WSReset.exe

    Terminating and Resetting Microsoft Store app

    Re-registering Windows Store through Powershell

    sfc /scannow (No problems detected)

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth (No problems detected)

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth (No problems detected)

    Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (No problems detected)

    Stopping Windows Update service

    Stopping wuauserv and BITS and clearing SoftwareDistribution

    Resetting network settings

    Running Tweaking.com’s Windows Repair tool

    Windows Store troubleshooter (No problems detected)

    Performing a Clean Boot

    Logging out of and into MS Account

    And yes, no updates are currently available for my PC.
