Forza Horizon won't lauch

LoganBenton · Jan 8, 2022

By now I've been seeing this problem come up a lot with the new game, but the thing is I just got done building my new pc but I kept the SSD so I would keep all of my things. It worked on my old one but now it doesn't. When I try to click on open the game its says the app can't open and tells me to go to the Microsoft store for more info. Then from there it will tell me to reinstall it from the Xbox app. Then from the app it will say that it is already downloaded and is ready to play. I will them click play and it will bring the couldn't open game page again. And from that its just a circle. I have tried downloading drivers, tried to repair the game, and even kicked my other account out so it wouldn't try and sign into that one. I have restarted the pc multiple times and the only thing that is keeping me from resetting the game is that I will lose all my progress. And I really don't want to do that. I have even looked up if resetting works and almost everyone says it doesn't. I don't know what to do. I just want to play some Forza.

I tried reinstalling it but I didn't see this until it was reinstalled. So I pretty sure my antivirus was still on. And the game once again won't open. Instead of taking me to the page it is just doing nothing when I click on it.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

If you are online while you play, all your saves are backed up on the cloud so you won't lose any progress if you choose to reset the game.

I'll suggest you reinstall the game completely with your Antivirus turned off and that should help.

First check if windows 10 is up to date. Make sure your time and date are correct on your windows settings.

There is an "Optional Updates" button in the smallest print. Kindly check and go to driver, and download the existing drivers needed. Then restart, plug in the Receiver. Go to the same optional updates, and updated the driver.

Make sure that this is turned on "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" under Advanced Options

Check for store updates: Start menu, select Microsoft Store > More > Downloads and updates > Get updates.

If Updating the system doesn't help, I'll suggest you run a scan to check for problems and repair them.

Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run Command Prompt as administrator. Next type sfc /scannow in Command Prompt window, and press Enter to start to scan and repair corrupt system files in Windows 10.
