Forza 7 and Horizon 3 both crash at the loading screen after latest windows update (PC)

Since the latest Windows 10 feature update installed on the 10th of Dec 2017, both FM7 and Horizon 3 both crash with no errors to the desktop seconds after the first splash screen is shown

Anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Live is experiencing issue, as are both those games listed, perhaps that’s what’s causing your problem?
