    Forza Horizon 4 causing Windows to crash when launching game


    Whenever I try to launch Forza Horizon 4 on Steam, the game starts to launch, the whole system becomes un-responsive then the screen turns black and it just sits there. The fans stay spinning but the temp screen on my AK620 Digital cpu cooler turns off. Event Viewer shows that a bunch of Windows services stop working but does not give any other useful information. Windows reliability reporting also turned up useless.

    I have a Ryzen 7 9700X, 32 gigs DDR5 6000, and an Gigabyte Windforce model of the RTX 4070 Super.

    I double checked that I have all the newest drivers, ran the sfc /scannow command in Terminal, and even re-installed the game.

    Other than this issue with Forza, the system is perfectly reliable with no issues, even in other games. I know that my psu (Corsair RM750x) is good and that my cpu is not overheating.

    I recorded the problem: MicrosoftHelpForza4WindowsCrash.mp4

    Forza horyzon 4 does't open PCgaming

    I have the same problem here when the game was launched and resolving by cleaning standby memory before play with RAMMap.

    Windows 11 and Forza Horizon

    It doesn't run for me either. Windows 11 + Forza Horizon 4 or 5 = Crash and Burn

    Forza Horizon 4 won't launch on Windows 11

    You can try to find the crash logs on the Windows software known as Event Viewer. There, find Forza Horizon 4 and check what's the crash log around the time the game stopped working.

    Forza horizon 4 crashes on disclaimer screen

    Hi Nicholas,

    So, when trying to play Forza Horizon 4, the game keeps crashing even after uninstalling and reinstalling the game? Thank you for checking that the drivers and PC were updated. To perform a clean boot, check out the following link:

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    Please try this before the clean boot:

    If Forza Horizon 4 is disabled from being a background app it may crash or hang when suspending and resuming. check whether the setting is set to Off: Privacy > Background apps > Forza Horizon 4 > Off. Please keep this setting On.

    I hope this helps ^‿^
