Xbox PC app not detecting Forza Horizon 5

vignesh_js · Dec 7, 2021

Hi. I recently tried to update FH5 through Xbox app. It froze for some reason and I tried to restart the app. Now the game is not showing up in the library and I cannot open it. The drive I installed the game shows there is data. How to fix this ?

You can try to remove the game from your PC and reinstall it.

Programs and apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store are installed in the following path by default: C:/Program Files/WindowsApps (Hidden items). To check hidden items, open This PC, click View and select Hidden items.

To take over the folder;

- Here is the path you should follow: C

rogram Files.

- Go to View and check the box next to Hidden items.

- Locate the Windows Apps folder and right-click on it.

- Select Properties from the drop-down menu.Select Security. Then select Advanced.

- Go to Owner. There click Change.Enter Microsoft account email address.

- Check the box next to ‘Replace owner on subcontainers and objects’.

- Apply your changes.

- Locate and click your account in the list. Click Edit.

- Check the box next to Full Control.

Hi, Jesse. FH5 is not showing up in my app list. But it shows up in start search and when I right-click and go to app settings it just crashes.

Yes. Other games are OK.

Forza horizon 4 is OK too. But I bought it.

And Forza horizon 5 uses Game Pass.

I can start Forza 5 on my PC, can not start on Xbox serious S.
