    I have Windows 10 Pro N, version 1903, installed on 9/28/2019, OS build 18362.418.

    After instaling this game i got error:

    • Thank you for installing Forza Horizon 4
    • We're sorry, but it looks like you're currently unable to launch the game due to the following:

    - Windows media components required. ( Code: FH601).

    • Click on the "More information" link below to view details on error codes and learn more about the game's requirements.


    My drivers are updated.

    Install Forza Horizon 4 - error code FH601 (Windows media components is required)

    Hi Peyton,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    To have clarity on this issue and guide you accordingly, kindly help us with the following information.



    • Which build of Windows 10 is installed on the machine?

      (Search winver from the Start menu to know the same)


    According to the error code FH601, some
    Windows Media components are missing, and your version of Windows 10 is missing the necessary media .dlls to install Forza Horizon 4. Refer the article

    Error FH601 occurs when launching Forza Horizon
    to know more about the same.



    The media feature pack you’ve downloaded is for the Windows 10 1703 (15063) build. If you’re on a different Windows 10 build than 1703 (15063), I suggest you to download the media feature pack for the same and check if it works.



    Refer the article Media Feature Pack list for Windows N editions,
    to find out the media feature pack for your version of Windows.



    Let us know how it goes.

    Regards,

    Windows media components missing?

    I was trying to run Forza Horizon 3 and it is giving me an error FH601 about Windows Media Components required. I followed the links in the error message to install the missing components but Windows says the components are not applicable to my computer
    or is already installed. Any help with this would be appreciated.

    Windows Pro N 1703 15063.138

    Geforce driver version 382.05
