Forza Horizon 5 hard crashes and freezes within 1 minute of starting the game on PC.

ShaunCabrera · Nov 14, 2021

The platform I play this game on is Windows 10 from the Xbox App. My PC specs are a Ryzen 7 5800U 16GB RAM and a RTX 3060 140W Mobile version. The Benchmark reports I can run Ultra 2560 x 1600 fine getting about 80FPS. I get hard crashes within 1 minute of the game when I start driving the car. I tried suggested solutions such as disabling background running apps that might be interfering and disabling Windows Security. But it still hard crashes. I even tried reinstalling it which does not work either. This is really getting on my nerves because I was really eager in playing this game when it released but never end up actually being able to play the game. Help!?

Make a shortcut for FH5, right click it and select "run as admin".
This solved this problem for me completely!
