Hello Damian Kuzniarski,

Thanks for reaching out and welcome to Xbox Community forums. I'm sorry to hear about this issue on your game. I understand how concerning it is to have such problem. Please do know that this is not the experience we want you to have.

In this case, to perform some troubleshooting on your device, please follow the methods first on Game freezes or stops responding on a Windows device | Xbox Support.

If issue still persists, you might want to check with Forza Support (forzamotorsport.net).

I hope this helps. Let me know how it goes. I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards,

StevenK

I'm sorry nothing worked so far.

You said that this issue started following a Windows 11 update, right? Would you please try to uninstall it?

Go to Settings > Update & security > Windows Update > Update History, then click Uninstall Updates. Right-click on the recent updates added to your computer after the one you want to go back to, then click Uninstall.

Please see if Forza starts to run again. If it does not work, I will try to restore your system to a point before this update using system recovery points. Let me know how it goes, please.

Just finished doing all the steps, did an extra restart to be sure and launched the game from the game folder itself as Admin and I get this one again:

I have not changed any settings and the launch options still include the commands you provided earlier. Any other form of hardware acceleration I have on my PC is turned off to the best of my knowledge, including the graphic settings in the Windows Control Panel display settings. Game Mode is also turned off and makes no difference whether on or off, same with the Xbox Game Bar. I also made sure to update the Xbox app and log back in to the same account I had been playing the game with before.

Hey Lucas, uninstalled everything and still no luck haha. I had actually set a system recovery point prior to doing any type of troubleshooting here. Could I just restore to that point that I have saved and just hope one day the game works again?

edit: nevermind, the saved restore point no longer exists lol. I can just leave everything as is couldn't I? This way I have a clean install of Windows again moving forward. Please correct me if I'm wrong
