Windows 10: Forza 4 Horizon Ultimate Hang Type Activation: Solved By Pure Luck

To all my fellow gamers in reference to Forza 4 Horizon PC Ultimate who receive the Hang Type Activation, I think I may have solved the problem.
After doing a clean windows 10 pro build 2004 install, I loaded all updates, then installed the GeForce experience for my GeForce 2080ti. Once I did a full install of Forza Ultimate from the xboxlive application, it clearly did as it did before, just crashed at Hang Type Activation.
However, I noticed a problem with my scale and layout settings were set to the recommended 150%
So, I decided to scale down to 125% with no reboot and decided to execute Forza for the hell of it, guess what, that did it for me. The game did not crash after this. Fully surprised with the results, I decided to go back to the recommended 150%, executed the game, crashed at hang type activation. Once I went back to 125%, the game executed with perfection.
Please give this a try and let me know the results.
God Speed!

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.
