Even if you've already tried one of these steps, please do them over in sequence:

Make sure you are signed into the game and MS Store at top right corner Profile icon. This saves Store games progress.

1) Check for game Updates in MS Store Hub (three dots at top right of Store app) > Downloads & Updates.

2) Run the MS Store apps troubleshooter at Windows Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional Troubleshooters > Windows Store Apps.

3) Try to Reset or Repair the game in Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & Features > [Name of game] > Advanced Options > Reset or Repair. Restart PC.

4) If that's not enough then uninstall the game from the same place, restart PC, reinstall the game from MS Store Hub (three dots at top right of Store app) > My Library.

5) Update your drivers and BIOS/UEFI firmware from PC or motherboard maker's Support Downloads web page, using the full model number, Serial Number or Dell Service Tag on sticker. Compare the latest drivers available for download with the ones presently installed in Device Manager reached by right clicking the Start button. Make sure you have the latest BIOS or UEFI firmware, Chipset, Display (Video), Sound, USB3, Bluetooth, Network and all other drivers, or else download and install the latest now.

Updating drivers from the Device Manager or Windows Update is rarely enough. The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is keep the latest manufacturer's drivers installed from their Support Downloads web page.

6) If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool, open tool and choose to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, is the most stable method to advance to the latest version, and solves most problems.

Forza Horizon 5 game crashing with error code 0xc0000005

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the reply. I have read through all of the links you provided and tried every suggestion but still the crashing issue persists. I was able to play for 35 minutes this morning before it crashed, and that was after uninstalling (instead of just disabling) the various software listed in the articles you linked to. I am getting the same error message in event viewer, with error code: 0xc0000005

At this point I don't believe my PC hardware or any configuration on it is the issue., Forza simply is not stable yet on the latest hardware running windows 11. This must just be a thing where we have to wait for motherboard manufacturers to release a BIOS update, Microsoft to release a windows update, graphics card manufacturer to release driver update, and playground games to release Forza update. That could take 4-6 weeks for all of those things to receive a major update, so I guess I will just have to play something else in the meantime.
