Forza Horizon 5 won't launch anymore.

Ok, try these steps and see if the Troubleshooting Tool gives you more errors:

1. Press Windows key + X and select Command Prompt (Admin).
2. On the open Command Prompt window copy and paste the commands (all at once)

net stop wuauserv

net stop cryptSvc

net stop bits

net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv

net start cryptSvc

net start bits

net start msiserver

3) Wait for the process to complete.
4) Close the Command Prompt.

Then, after that:
1. Ppen a command prompt and type sfc /scannow . This will look for any corrupt files and attempt to repair them. Effectively with 3 possible results, no issues found, found and fixed, or found but could not fix.

2. If first or second result appears (no issues or found and fixed), try to run the Troubleshooting Tool again.

2. If its the latter then I suggest making a boot disk and attempting a normal windows recovery repair, instructions can be found here under "Use installation media to restore your PC":
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/12415/...

After all, try to run the troubleshooting tool again.

Okay, so, it did fixed "Service registration is missing or corrupt". Still not working.
For the "sfc" command, I already tried and did it again.





So I ran the troubleshooting again and everything's fixed but not Forza.

And finally, this is something I didn't want to recover and reinstall my OS... I have a lot of data and not enough space left in an external drive to do that...
I know this is probably my last thing to try but I would try everything else. Thanks again for all your help tho.

Ok, please try these steps one by one at a time.

Try one of them, try to play FH 5. If it doesn't work, try the next, and so on:

Try to disable development mode:

Press Windows + R.

Type Powershell and hit enter.

Copy and paste the following into the Powershell window and press enter:

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Reboot your PC.

Uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ programs:

Press the Windows Key + R, appwiz.cpl and then press Enter.

Locate the Microsoft Visual C++ programs in the list.

Select each entry and then click Uninstall.

Download a fresh copy of Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime and then install it:

Run the Microsoft Tool:

Go to the link and save/run the tool. Follow the on-screen instructions to troubleshoot/fix your issue.

Try to change launch settings of the game to run without hardware acceleration (you may lose graphic performance here):

1. Launch the Steam application.

2. Log in to your account.

3. Click on the Library tab on the top.

4. Right-click on Forza Horizon 5 and choose Properties.

5. Go to the General tab on the left side in the Properties window for the game.

6. In the text field below the Launch Options heading, type the following command.

-cefNoGPU -cefNoBlacklist

If it doesn't work too, try to run the game in compatibility mode:

1. Press Windows + E to open File Explorer. Navigate to the location of the game.

2. Right-click on the application launcher and select Properties.

3. Go to the Compatibility tab.

4. Check the box next to Run this program in compatibility mode for option.

5. Now use the dropdown box below it and select Windows 7 from the options available. (try with Windows 10 too)

6. Click on Apply and then on OK to save the settings.

7. Now launch the game/application throwing the error and check if it is fixed.

Test and see if one of these steps can solve your issue.

Alright, so I've done everything you said on the list and none of them worked.
I don't have W10 in the compatibility options but I tried W7 and W8.
Here you can see that a lot of the apps couldn't be developer mode disabled by the powershell command you gave me (even in the admin powershell)



Here are the results of the Microsoft tool you gave me but nothing fixed it unfortunately.
