    Specifically Forza won't install from the store


    After receiving an error when trying to open Forza Horizon 5 from the Microsoft Store on PC saying "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the permissions to access the item", and gave a file directory for C:\Program Files\WindowsApps (I had Forza installed on my E: drive), I uninstalled the game. Now when trying to reinstall the game from the store, it cancels the install and says "Something happened on our end" before the download even starts. This appears to only be the case for Forza and any other app installs just fine. I have so far tried closing and restarting the store, login out and back in, changing the default install location of apps from the C: drive to the E: (since C: definitely does not have enough space), and also restarting my PC. As I saw it was an solution for a similar issue, I checked if the Microsoft Store Install Service was disabled, and found it was still running, so I'm not sure if that's to do with the problem.

    Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Specifically Forza won't install from the store

    My name is Fernando I'm an independent consultant, I'm happy to help

    The first solution I recommend is to reset your network settings. This may help resolve any network related issues that could be causing the data sync issue. This is how you can do it:

    1. Press the Windows R key to open the Run dialog box.
    2. Type "cmd" and press Enter to open the command prompt.
    3. Type "netsh winsock reset" and press Enter.
    4. Wait for the process to complete and restart your computer.

    By resetting your network settings, you will be able to clear any problematic settings that might be interfering with the data sync process. In addition, this solution can also help with other network-related issues you may encounter while playing Forza Horizon 5. 2- Update network driver: An outdated network driver can also cause data synchronization issues in Forza Horizon 5. To fix this issue you will need to update your network driver. This is how you can do it:

    1. Press the Windows X key and select Device Manager from the menu.
    2. Expand the Network Adapters category.
    3. Right-click your network adapter and select Update Driver.
    4. Choose the option to automatically search for updated driver software.
    5. Wait for the process to complete and restart your computer.

    Updating your network driver can help ensure that your network adapter is working properly and is compatible with Forza Horizon 5. This solution can also help with other network-related issues you may encounter while playing the game. 3-Add the game as a firewall exception

    Finally, Windows Firewall may be preventing the game from synchronizing data. To fix this issue, you will need to add Forza Horizon 5 as a firewall exception. This is how you can do it:

    1. Press the Windows key I to open the Settings app.
    2. Click Update & Security, then click Windows Security.
    3. Click Firewall & Network Protection.
    4. Click Allow an application through the firewall.
    5. Click Change Settings, then click Yes if prompted by User Account Control.
    6. Click Allow Another Application.
    7. Go to the Forza Horizon 5 installation folder and select the game's executable.
    8. Click Add and OK.

    By adding Forza Horizon 5 as a firewall exception, you can ensure that the game can communicate with the Internet without any interference from Windows Firewall. This fix may also help with other game-related issues you may encounter when playing Forza Horizon 5.

    I hope I helped and see you soon.

    I tried the first two solutions and they caused no change in the problem. I can't do the third option since Forza Horizon 5 isn't installed as the problem is that it refuses to install.

    Thanks

    Hello Dawid Debowski,

    Greetings!



    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



    It seems that you are having an issue installing specific game in your console. It is correct that the game was removed from Microsoft store due to end of life and this could be the reason why the installation would not be completed.

    You can check the article below that provide more information about the game and support.


    I hope this helps!

    Thank you for your understanding.

    Forza 5 install time

    Are you installing from a disc? If so try disconnecting from the internet and completing the install that way. If downloading from the xbox store it will take a good while to complete as Forza is above 30GBs
