Windows 10: Forza Horizon 4 PC tries to install itself without permission

Hello!
I've subscribed to gamepass and I am having a lot of fun!
The first game I installed is Forza Horizon 4 Standard Edition. I played it and had a lot of problems with it so I decided to uninstall it until the day I will upagrade my computer.
I am very satisfied with the APP, it is fast and innovative.
The problem is this:
Every time I restart my computer, or everytime i start it even after a lot of days, Microsoft Store starts FH4 download alone, without me deciding it or without having XBOX app Opened. It doesn't bother me to stop the download everytime but it happened that I had the game installed again without my consent
When I uninstalled it, I went in the XBOX app and uninstalled it. Dunno what's causing this problem :
I love FH4, he loves me too but this is too much! aha

Partial download of Forza Horizon 4 will not delete.

Hello there!

I am having problems with uninstalling partially downloaded files from my computer.

What Happened:

• I was downloading Forza Horizon 4 from the XBOX beta app on my PC but then my house had a power-cut.
• This turned my PC off and the download was stopped.
• When my PC was turned back on, 45GB was taken up on my SSD.
• The XBOX beta app and the Microsoft store app do not show that Forza Horizon 4 has been installed so I cannot click uninstall to remove the files.
• I cannot find Forza Horizon 4 anywhere on my PC even through the Apps and Features menu.
• After some digging I found "Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame" this was the Forza horizon 4 file.
• I cannot delete this as it requires permission from "SYSTEM" to delete.
• I am using my own PC that I have built.
• I have tried to solve this issue by changing the security details in the property tab of the file.
• However this still would not work.

Is there any way I can uninstall these files?

Thanks

Backup of Forza Horizon 4

Hello to all here,

i want to backup my Forza Horizon 4 which is installed to c:\programfiles\WindowsApps. I used the build in backup functionality of Windows 10 to back it up. If i now will make a fresh Windows 10 installation and then restore my backup back to c:\programfiles\WindowsApps will Forza Horizon 4 be recognized as installed on my new system? What happens if this fails? If it fails i have no possibilty to delete the 70gb of the restauration because i have no access to the WindowsApps Folder which means i have to reinstall Windows 10 again.

Did somebody already tried to backup and restore Windows 10 Apps successfully?

Greetings
