Hello BlackStar,

Let's try another method.

Please, install the Xbox PC app and launch the cloud games from there:

Hi JMLoner,

Thank you for coming to the Xbox forums.

Is Forza Horizon 4 the only game taking a long time to load? I recommend un-installing the game to your SSD and then fully restart your PC.

After the PC reboots, make sure you are also signed into the Xbox App and check under your Network settings that your PC is properly connected to Xbox Live. Re-install the game and then launch the game from the Xbox App, which has been re-named to the Xbox
Console Companion App.

Try the re-installation and restart first and let us know how it goes.
