Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Brandon

Please try the next, all together:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;
Click Check for Updates;
Click the Download and Install Now option, if available (Install optional updates as well)

Also, check the Microsoft Store for any updates on the Xbox apps and its services and update everything too.

Now, sign out from your account on both Xbox app and Microsoft Store and do this:
Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.
After that, click repair and then reset

Then do the same for the Xbox app and Forza Horizon 5 app:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.
After that, click repair and then reset

Finally do this:

Step 1: Open the Run window by pressing Windows + R key.
Step 2: Input WSReset.exe in the Run window and click OK.
Step 3: Then a command prompt window will appear. After a few seconds, Windows Store will open.

Sign in again on both Microsoft store and Xbox app with your account and give it a new try.

If maybe that doesn't work do this:
Reinstall Gaming Services using powershell command

Press Windows key + X and then select Windows PowerShell (Admin).

Type or copy / past the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage *gamingservices* -allusers | remove-appxpackage -allusers

Restart the PC and Open the Xbox application.

A blue notification with the following message is going to appear at the bottom:
"This app needs an extra component. Gaming Services is needed for playing some games. Administrator approval required. Install"

Select Install to reinstall Gaming Services, once installed check again

Hello, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

If you can't find or install the DLC expansions for Forza Horizon 5 on your PC, here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

Check account and platform compatibility first: Make sure you're using the same Microsoft account on both your Xbox and PC. Also, confirm that the DLC expansions you purchased are compatible with the PC version of Forza Horizon 5. Some DLC may be exclusive to the Xbox console and not available for PC.

Then verify ownership and installation: On your PC, open the Microsoft Store app and navigate to the Forza Horizon 5 page. Check if the DLC expansions you own are listed as purchased or available for installation. If they appear as your own, try clicking the "Install" button to start the installation process.

We can also try checking for updates: make sure Forza Horizon 5 and the Microsoft Store app on your PC are up to date. Sometimes updates can resolve compatibility issues and allow DLC to be installed. Launch the Microsoft Store app, click the three dots in the top right corner, and select "Downloads and Updates" to check for available updates.

If the above has not worked, reinstall the game: If the DLC expansions still do not appear for installation, try uninstalling and reinstalling Forza Horizon 5 on your PC. This can update the game data and allow the DLC to be recognized and installed correctly.

I hope this helps.

Best regards.

Hi One

I see that you’re trying to install the game using the Microsoft store

If you don’t mind please open the Xbox app in your PC and try installing Forza horizon 5 from there one more time (or download if you don’t have the app)

Okay, don’t worry. I’ll try to help here.

Did you try everything recommended in this support article?

My Game is Not Launching or is Crashing on PC - Forza Support

Also try to see if there’s any significant difference in the Microsoft/Xbox version if possible. You don’t necessarily need to purchase it as it’s available on Game Pass, but don’t worry if you’re not able to try this.

Forza Horizon 5 - Microsoft Store

Be sure to share the results here as this will help identify and pinpoint the error to hopefully find a solution.

Hope this helps.
