Forza Horizon 4 Steam version crashing on start up

Hello there,
I'm currently having an issue with regards to starting Forza horizon 4, when I click on continue when on the homepage the game loads for a few seconds until the loading icon stops and the background turn grey/black where the game proceeds to crash to the desktop, I have searched how to solve this issue however to no success. It all began after my computer crashed while Forza Horizon 4 was in the background, my computer's windows 10 also updated. Since these events, the game has had this issue.

I have looked at the Windows Event Viewer and every time this crash occurs the following Application error is present:

Faulting application name: ForzaHorizon4.exe, version: 1.465.282.0, time stamp: 0x603fef5e
