Windows 10: Gray screen and crash in Forza Horizon 4

Hi there,


So I installed the Forza Horizon 4 demo to see if my PC could run it, but I've ran into what seems to be a decently common issue. The gray screen crash.


So, what happens is: I start the game, it gets to the main menu, but no matter if i press continue or try the benchmark, it will get to the loading screen and after a while the loading circle will freeze which ends with the game going to a gray screen and closing itself.


What I have tried:

Updating my windows to the latest version and installing all available updates,

Tried reinstalling the game,

Tried the notepad fix which kills the explorer task,

Tried the fix of taking ownership of the WindowsApps folders one on the C drive and the one on my game drive where the game is actually installed


My graphics driver is up to date and so is pretty much everything else for as far as I know.


I am now just at a loss of what to do, I have zero clue on what the issue might be here.


In case you need to know, here's my system specs:

CPU: AMD FX 6300

RAM: 16GB DDR3 1866Mhz

GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950

Motherboard: Asus M5A97 le r2.0


I hope anyone has a solution for this problem because I have no idea anymore.

:)

Forza horizon 4 crashing on loading screen

Hello, i have been having issues with forza horizon 4, when i try to launch the game, it goes to the loading screen, i get passed the playground games logo, but my game crashes on microsoft studios, no error, no anything

i have tryed a lot of solutions, reinstalling windows, reinstalling GPU drivers, reinstalling the whole game

Reseting the Forza Horizon 4 in settings, disabling development mode which i've seen on some forum, trying disabling explorer but no success. Other games work fine on microsoft store like State of Decay and Sea of Thieves, i only have issue with Forza Horizon
4

I have an i5 4460, GTX 960, 8gb DDR3 Ram, and my friend has lower specs and he can at least run the game, while my crashes for some unkown reason
