    Forza Horizon 4 doesn't work after installing from MS store


    I just installed Forza Horizon 4 again and when starting it it closes instantly. I tried reinstalling it about 5 times now and it doesnt work. Everytime i installed it it installed at about 1.7 Gb/s but I only get 250 Mb/s.Normally you can right click it in your Windows menu and then click on open file location but this is not an option for some odd reason. I tried locating the install forlder myself but I haven't been able to find it.

    :)

  2. Forza Horizon 4 - Crashing on Startup, doesn´t run

    Hi Vit

    Have you tried lowering your screen resolution to see if the game launches?

    How much free space do you have on the drive?

    Could you confirm if this also happens in the default Administrator account?

    Open Start

    Type: cmd

    Right click CMD

    Click Run as administrator

    At the command prompt, type:

    net user administrator/active:yes

    Hit Enter

    Close command prompt, restart, then try signing into the Administrator account.

    Do you have the latest cumulative updates for Windows 10 1809 installed?

    Open Start > Settings > Apps > Apps & features

    Scroll down to Forza Horizon 4

    Select it

    Click Advanced options

    Click Reset

    Restart

    Check the Store for updates

    If that does not work...

    download the following utility and use it to remove Forza Horizon 4:

    Download and reinstall Forza Horizon 4 - Microsoft Store

    I am going to admit, you are not the first to report of issues with installing Forza Horizon series of games on Windows 10. There doesn't seem to be a documented solution of what works and doesn't work. I have recommended to users to downgrade to an older release
    such as Windows 10 1703 and they report it works.

    See example case:

    Here is something else you can try:

  3. Forza Horizon 4 - Crashing on Startup, doesn´t run

    Hi, I bought the game on 3.10.2018. Everything ran well, but one week ago, after a windows update (I´m running Windows 10) and after weekend I wanted to play Forza Horizon 4 and
    the game doesn´t starts. I have only the first loading screen (With McLaren Senna picture) and after a second the loading screen disappears.

    I have tried to reinstall the game, and I don´t use any overclocking programs (no MSI Afterburner, RivaTuner...)

    Thanks for any help.
