Please try each option below, one should do the trick:

Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) from the pop-up menu.

Copy and paste the following command in PowerShell and hit Enter to uninstall the Game Bar from your system.

Now head over to Microsoft Store and search for Xbox Game Bar, install it and give it a new try

C. Delete the registry keys associated with the game bar :

Press Windows key+R then type regedit and press Enter.
Go to this path (expand the folders using the little ">")

I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble using the Game Bar on Fortnite.

That being said, I would like to share the following potential solutions that may help to discard any issue with the game bar.

Please skip the ones you already tried:

A. Press the Windows key and type Game Bar, then right click on it and click on “app settings”
Then click on “repair” and “reset”.
After this, restart your PC before trying again.

B. Open a new PowerShell window as administrator.
Then copy and paste the following command:

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.XboxGamingOverlay | Remove-AppxPackage

Restart your PC after running the command, open the Microsoft Store and install the game bar from there before trying again.

C. Open the Run window (shortcut is Windows key + R), type regedit and hit enter.

Go to the following path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\GameDVR

Click the GameDVR folder and delete everything listed there except the file that says “Default”.

Restart the PC and try again.

I'll remain attentive to your answers.

Greetings, ramialam! Very sorry to hear that you're having trouble playing Forza. My apologies for the inconvenience! Do you have the option to clear some space on your hard drive and install there? I'd be interested to know if the problem persists if it's
installed on your hard drive. You can deleted previously installed games from your hard drive and reinstall them at any point without losing your game progress. Just follow the steps outlined here:
