I’m trying to reinstall forza horizon 5 but every time I install it the game stops...

Hello LatestJan, My name is David. I am an independent advisor, happy to help you today.

Ok, if you are planning to reinstall Windows 11 and want to keep the Forza Horizon 5 installation on your D drive without having to download it again, there is an approach you can try. Be sure to back up your important files before making any changes to your system.

Back up the game installation folder Go to the location where Forza Horizon 5 is installed on your D drive and copy the entire game folder to a safe place. Typically, the default installation location for Microsoft Store games is "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps". Locate the Forza Horizon 5 installation folder within that location.

Perform the reinstallation of Windows 11 Follow the process to reinstall Windows 11 on your computer as you normally do. This will format your C drive and reinstall the operating system.

Once you have completed the reinstallation of Windows 11, go to the location where the Forza Horizon 5 installation folder was on your D drive and check if the folder is still present. In some cases, reinstalling Windows may have deleted the game installation folder.

If the Forza Horizon 5 installation folder is deleted during Windows reinstallation, you can copy the backup folder you made in step 1 back to the original location on your D drive.

Verify the integrity of the game After restoring the game installation folder, launch the Xbox or Microsoft Store app and verify the integrity of the game. This will allow the application to detect existing game files and perform any necessary repairs or updates.

Best regards.

I have reinstalled the xbox game pass app.

It is still showing Forza Horizon 5 as uninstalled.

When attempting to install, it shows 110gb of storage space free (I know that this should be closer to 220-230gb)- suggesting that the failed install from last night is still hogging drive space.

If I try to install Forza Horizon 5 again, it lingers on "preparing install" before failing without any error messages

It seems like there is some corrupt data somewhere that I need to clear both to free up space and allow me to reinstall the game.

steps if tried,

reinstall xbox app,

reinstall forza horizon 5 completely

install all windows update

game still is not working.

Yeah Forza Horizon 5 and Starfield reinstall for me upon restarting my PC every time. I'm not sure if this is related, but I had FH5 and SF already installed on a different drive when I reset my PC recently, and don't think I re-downloaded them after, it just found them. I'm tempted to do a complete reinstall and not bring any games over this time, but no idea if that's why.

reinstall xbox app,

reinstall forza horizon 5 completely

install all windows update

game still is not working.

Done all the above,

my other Xbox games open fine....
