Windows 10: Missing File "GameLaunchHelper.exe" after downloading FH5

I've just reinstalled FH5 and when I go to launch the game it comes up with an error saying "Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.624F8B84B80_3.410.860.0_x64__8we...\GameLaunchHelper.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. " I'm sure the Microsoft with the number and letter strand is the Forza Horizon 5 file but it's missing a .exe named Game Launch Helper and I'm not sure why it's missing or how to get it back.

Hi,

• Open the link below

And download and install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4.

3. Download VSU_4\vcredist_x64.exe if you’ll be installing this on Windows 10 64bit.
