My Forza Horizon 5 is not launching.

Riley John · May 25, 2023

Hi,

I was trying to play some Forza Horizon 5 but keep getting an error code (0x8007042b) and the game does not launch

I have tried running as administrator, updating GPU drivers, repairing and resetting the app via settings, updating windows, installing visual studio C++ and the .NET framework but still no luck. When I uninstall the game and reinstall it the game then works for about 2 days then I get the same error again.

Can someone please help?

Regards, Riley

I have this error when I try to launch Forza Horizon 5 and Flight Simulator. Launch Xbox app is fine.

This issue start at first time launch. I never play Forza and flight sim in my life.

Hello,

I must have pressed something last time, as something happened this time. But Forza Horizon 5 still crashes on launch
