Windows 10: Issue with downloading Forza Horizon 4 from MS Store

Hi, I have been trying to download the game since 3 days ago but to no avail, it kept on pausing itself midway then the download start over from scratch, my internet isn't the best or the fastest, but never had issue like this when downloading games from Origin or Steam, it might takes long, but at least they eventually finish.

Is there any other reliable method to download them? maybe something like external downloader for MS Store or anything else, any help would be appreciated, stupid MS Store wasted so much of my time.

Downloading Forza Horizon 4 stuck at "Starting Download"

Hi all. I'm trying to download Horizon 4 via Game Pass from the Microsoft Store. If I download the "Forza Horizon 4 Standard Edition", it gets stuck at "Acquiring License" infinitely and the downloads list shows Horizon 4 as "Starting Download", and if
I try just downloading the app just called "Forza Horizon 4", it stays stuck at "Starting Download".

These are the things I've tried:

In-Place Windows Upgrade to fix my install

WSReset.exe

Terminating and Resetting Microsoft Store app

Re-registering Windows Store through Powershell

sfc /scannow (No problems detected)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth (No problems detected)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth (No problems detected)

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth (No problems detected)

Stopping Windows Update service

Stopping wuauserv and BITS and clearing SoftwareDistribution

Resetting network settings

Running Tweaking.com’s Windows Repair tool

Windows Store troubleshooter (No problems detected)

Performing a Clean Boot

Logging out of and into MS Account

And yes, no updates are currently available for my PC.

We don't work for Microsoft.

I suggest that you read the system requirements at the MS link.

Buy Forza Horizon 4 - Microsoft Store

Cheers.
