Hello Thundershock, my name is zahir

The game download app includes Microsoft Store, Xbox app, and Steam. If you encounter the Forza Horizon 5 not installing/downloading issue, you can troubleshoot these game download apps through the following ways:

Log out of these apps and then log in again.

Restart these apps.

Reset the Microsoft Store cache.

Repair, reset, or reinstall these apps.

If you are using Microsoft Store to download Forza Horizon 5, the Forza Horizon 5 not installing/downloading issue may be caused by corrupt caches. You can reset the Microsoft Store cache to solve the problem. Here is the guide:

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.

Type “wsreset.exe” and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to reset the Windows Store cache.

Then, you can download and install the game again. If the above steps don’t work, you can try deleting the cache folder to solve the Forza Horizon 5 not installing/downloading issue. Here is the guide:

Open Windows File Explorer and navigate to this path: C:\Users\User_name\AppData\Local\Packages \Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe.

Right-click on LocalCache and choose Delete from the context menu.

After that, try downloading and installing Forza Horizon 5 again to see whether the issue is solved

I hope this helps

All of my Microsoft and Xbox games are downloaded on my external drive including the previous Horizon, which is Forza Horizon 4. I changed where new apps are stored when downloaded from the Microsoft store to my external drive but it still wont download Forza Horizon 5 to my external drive. On the Xbox app it wont show my external drive as an option to download to. I am able to download any game from the Microsoft store and Xbox app to my external drive except Forza Horizon 5.

Check for updates: Make sure that Windows, the Microsoft Store, and Forza Horizon 5 are up to date with the latest updates and patches. This can often fix compatibility issues.

Reset the Microsoft Store cache: Sometimes, the Microsoft Store cache can become corrupted, causing issues with app downloads and installations. You can reset the cache by opening the Command Prompt as an administrator and running the following commands:

wsreset.exe

This will clear the Microsoft Store cache.

Reinstall Forza Horizon 5: If none of the above steps work, you may need to completely uninstall and reinstall Forza Horizon 5. This will ensure that all files and configurations are properly set up.

Check for conflicting software: Antivirus or firewall software can sometimes interfere with app installations. Try disabling any third-party antivirus or firewall software temporarily to see if that resolves the issue.

Okay thank you for the help
