Forza Horizon 4 on the Xbox for Windows app crashes after the opening credits

Hi Joakim,

Sorry to hear Forza Horizon keeps crashing right after the picture.
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 ^‿^

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:

Please try this before the clean boot:

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

And you're not able to see it too after opening Windows settings > apps and features and look for Forza Horizon 5?

Also, not in the Xbox app?

If that's the case, could you try reinstalling it via Xbox app to see if the process starts?

Hi and thanks for reaching Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef. I'm a Xbox Gamer and a Xbox user like you.

I'll be happy to assist you out today.

Buddy could you try this to see if the issue persist on Forza Horizon 5:

Open Settings, click Update and Security and then Windows Update;

Click Check for Updates;

Click the Download and Install Now option, if available;

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

Then try this:

Go to windows settings > apps > search for gaming services app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore, open the app and try again.

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

Go to windows settings > apps > search for Xbox app > click on it and select advanced options.

After that, click repair and then restore (restore only for Xbox app), open the app and try again.

If the issue persist, click on restore for Forza horizon 5 app
