Forza Horizon 5 crash with 0xc0000005 code in Event Viewer.

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

Hello, Sebastian1991. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

Since you already talked to Forza Support and tried a lot of troubleshooting steps, I would suggest you to try to restore your Operational System via the ISO Image Tool. You will be able to maintain your installed games and files.

For Windows 11:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

Download it > Open the ISO image tool > Open setup.exe > Select upgrade > Download from the cloud > Keep games and apps.

See if this helps and please let me know. If the issue persists, please let me know if you are playing the game through Steam or Xbox app as I understand it is through Steam.

Yes, you can leave everything as it is. Just remove the -cefNoGPU -cefNoBlacklist command from Steam if you want and enable the hardware acceleration options you disabled during the troubleshooting here.

I'm really sorry nothing worked. You did not find any system recovery point before the update?
