Why is Forza Horizon 5 not launching from the Xbox app on Windows 11?

I do have the latest version of Windows installed, all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and I installed the companion app. When I tried running chkdsk /f/x/r/v into the command prompt, it said "the type of file system is NTFS, cannot lock current drive" and then it said "Chkdsk could not run because the volume is in use by another process, would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts"? Any ideas why it's not working?

Hello again, yes, when you go to run CHKDSK it asks if you want to run when restarting the computer, type Y,and give exit to exit the CMD and restart the PC, after that it will run the scan in DOS mode

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello MattHitti, have you checked if you have the latest version of Windows installed, at 22H2.

See which version of Windows 10 you have

Updates are often seen as optional.

Also, make sure all Xbox Apps are up to date in the store, and make sure you have the Xbox Companion App installed, it works with the Xbox App.

After this, try the procedures below.

Using System File Checker in Windows

chkdsk

1 - Type cmd (Command Prompt) in the search bar of the Start menu and then click Run as administrator.

2 - Enter chkdsk /f/x/r/v

Being in use the system will ask if the user wants to check the chosen drive after reboot. Just type S and restart the computer.

Hi,

The URL you've hyperlinked is the same for both links. I can't find anywhere where it says Forza 5 does not run on Windows 11.

I'm not sure how you have lost access to your progress and in-app purchases, that is likely a separate issue. However, Windows 11 is not in beta, it's a full commercial release. It's been on general release since October 2021. Forza Horizon 5 is designed to run on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.

There should no incompatibilities for games between Windows 10 and Windows 11. I'm a PC gamer and I play Forza Horizon 5 via Windows 11 and it's working perfectly.

If you can provide some more details we may be able to help you further.

It doesn't run for me either. Windows 11 + Forza Horizon 4 or 5 = Crash and Burn
