Halo Infinite not launching after new update

no unfortunately halo infinite and forza still result in a crash within a minute or two after launching

After reinstalling windows, it finally works! Installing and launching games, including Halo Infinite!

Thank you for the support and the time.

Have a great day!

You can play destiny 2 the base game as it is free but not the expansions as it is no longer included with gamepass

They removed it back in November after halo infinite launch

SOLUTION

This happened to me when I tried to launch a Game Pass game (Wolfenstein: The New Order) after my subscription had expired. I renewed my sub, but the Windows Store kept launching.

I fixed it by launching a game I didn't need a subscription for. Try a free game like Halo: Infinite, or a game you own. After I did that, Wolfenstein launched without a problem.

Hi Hortencia Kroemer



Thanks for reporting this issue in Microsoft Answers.



I understand that you are having trouble with Halo Infinite not launching, and I understand your confusion.

I understand that you are having trouble with Halo Infinite not launching after the latest update. You can try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, followed by performing a clean boot of your system.

A clean boot is a troubleshooting technique that allows you to manually disable startup items and services to identify the software causing the game to crash. Once you find the problematic software, simply uninstalling it should resolve the issue. Here’s how to do it:

Disclaimer: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background service is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.

These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by step so that it will help you get back on track.

1. Press Win+R to open the Run dialog. Type msconfig and press Enter to open the System Configuration window.
   
2. Select the Services tab, check Hide all Microsoft services, and then click Disable all.
   
3. In the Startup tab of Task Manager, disable all startup items.
   
4. Return to the System Configuration window and click OK.
   
5. Click Restart to reboot your computer.
   

After restarting your computer, run the game to check if the issue recurs. If there are no problems, you will need to reopen the System Configuration window and enable services one by one until you find the problematic service. After enabling each service, you will need to restart your computer to apply the changes.

Once you identify the software or service causing the game to crash or fail to start, uninstall the software or disable the service to resolve the issue.

We look forward to hearing back from you.
