Windows 10: Forza Horizon 4 stuck on installing, then erroring.

I'm using the Microsoft Store on my Windows 10 Desktop with Windows 20H2, and build 19042.804.
When I am installing the last 47 MB of data it goes to my local restore point, then when it tries to finish downloading I get "error" with code 0x80073D0D.

I've tried resetting the MS Store in setting and with wsreset, tried signing out and logging back into my Microsoft account, tried restarting the Microsoft Store Updater Service in Task Manager, tried deleting the files in c:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\PackagesMicrosoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\Local, and various other methods.



Resetting Windows in its entirety is not prefered, as I don't have an external drive to create an image of Windows and store it safely, yet it was the only was which got it to run two years ago.

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)

Resetting network settings

Running Tweaking.com’s Windows Repair tool

Performing a Clean Boot

Logging out of and into MS Account

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