Windows 10: Windows store game download size continuously increasing

Hi,

i have been trying to download forza horizon 4 and the game size is 64 GB however my download has continued past that and is now 74 GB and climbing, every once in a while it says installing but then goes back to downloading.

I have tried resetting the cache, using troubleshooting, resetting the store but with no effect

Please help as I’ve already waited days for it to download and yet its still continuing and I dont know if the progress bar is even moving as the size and total size just increases (74.33 GB of 74.33 GB)

:)
