Hello Pedro dos Prazeres

Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community.

I can see that you're experiencing issues with Forza Horizon 5. The error code 0xc0000409 indicates that there is a problem with the Universal C Runtime Library (ucrtbase.dll) which is a system file that is required for the game to run. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Update your graphics card drivers to the latest version.

2. Run Windows Update to ensure that your system is up to date.

3. Try running the game in compatibility mode by right-clicking on the game's executable file, selecting Properties, and then selecting the Compatibility tab. From there, select "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and choose an earlier version of Windows.

4. Try running the game as an administrator by right-clicking on the game's executable file and selecting "Run as administrator".

5. Try reinstalling the game.

I've tried doing everything on the link you provided, but the game still doesn't work. Code error 0xc0000005 always in eventviewer.

Try running Forza Horizon 5 as an administrator. It fixed my random crashes.

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 ^‿^
