Didn’t work for me either…
Maybe this will help someone.
A friend suggested a solution from some forum where someone got the game working by launching it through NVIDIA GeForce Experience.
I dont know why, but it worked for me.
I tried every so fix mentioned here and nothing helped. Reinstalling hte game took me 3-4 hours per try.
Thanks for the suggestions guys, but none of them worked.
I have noticed that this game is very picky about how Windows is configured… (I personally had many issues with a Windows installation provided by my system manufacturer.)
ONLY USE MY SUGGESTION IF ALL OTHER FIXES HAVE FAILED!
All I can suggest is to COMPLETELY fresh reinstall windows from a bootable USB flash drive and OVERWRITE everything currently on the hard drive. You will want to back up your files etc…
Windows will install most of your drivers, but I do recommend looking online for your GPU driver at least. (If your system came from an OEM {aka purchased from HP, Dell, CyberPower, etc} look in the OEM’s support website to find correct drivers for your system, but get the latest GPU driver from intel/nvidia/amd.)
This fixed my game, and my system actually runs better now!
Just a friendly driver helping out,

Having to reinstall your OS to fix 1 specific game is ridiculous. Glad it works for you though.
Got an e-mail asking to reset FH4 in the apps menu, as if I haven’t tried that a thousand times already over the last couple of months…
Seems like I’ll have to do it today. I really fell in love with this game, especially with photo mode
Reinstallation of OS didn’t help… So I don’t know what to do…
just out of curiosity, what GPU do you have?
OS reinstall was my last option as well and it didnt help. Then a friend suggested i should launch the game through GeForce Experience. As far fetched as it sounds, it worked and im playing since. this was last week.
At home, on my main PC i have a radeon GPU and didnt have any issues since i bought the game.
Im not as deep into this issue as others, im just posting what worked for me.
I have GTX750Ti. Before the update it worked perfectly, but now…
Just tried to launch using GeForce Experience. Didn’t help
sorry to hear that, guys.
I apologize for my English. None of the suggested methods helped. I decided to try restoring Windows with formatting the hard drives. And you know what? The game is now working. Yes, I had to download all installed games. Forza Horizon 4 is no exception. I hope this method helps someone.
Friends, I managed to solve as follows, it took a whole day to come up with this solution, it seems that uninstalling and installing on the same drive of Windows 10, is giving problems loading the game. I know such a solution takes time for those who have a slow internet, but we have to try, it worked with me.
1- Uninstall the game, delete all files from the TEMP folder, restart windows.
2- install the game on a different drive than windows 10, another HD, can be an external one.
3- reset the settings to default
4- make the first load of the game, if it works, make a full backup of everything and then move the game novamante to windows 10 drive. If it doesn’t work with the game installed on the same hard drive as windows 10, just restore it by backup and leave the game on the same external drive.
Hugs.
Para os Brasileiros.
Amigos, consegui resolver da forma abaixo, levou 1 dia inteiro para chegar nesta solução, parece que desinstalando e instalando na mesma unidade do Windows 10, está dando problemas no carregamento do jogo. Sei que tal solução demora para quem tem uma internet lenta, mas temos que tentar, comigo deu certo.
1- Desinstalar o jogo, deletar todos arquivos da pasta TEMP, reiniciar o windows.
2- instalar o jogo em uma unidade diferente do windows 10, outro HD, pode ser um externo.
3- redefinir as configurações como padrão
4- fazer o primeiro carregamento do jogo, se funcionar, façam um backup full de tudo e depois movam o jogo novamante para unidade do windows 10. Caso não funcionar com o jogo instalado no mesmo HD que o windows 10, basta fazer a restauração pelo backup e deixar o jogo na unidade externa mesmo.
Abraços.
Also, didn’t help to solve the problem…
I tried everything I found to Start the game.
Today, after one week try and error (reinstalled the game 3x with different local admin users, Reset windows store, Reset all permissions for the windowsApp folder, Updated all divers, closed all possible other programs etc.) my game finally launched…
What I did, maybe that could help someone:
I filled out the following contact Information:
https://live.xbox.com/de-DE/account/billingaccountinformation
After that I opened following Page in edge/Internet Explorer: https://www.microsoft.com/de-de
In the search Bar I searched for “forza” and I selected my Version (for me forza horizon 4 ultimate Edition).
I clicked on the Green Button “installieren/wiedergeben”. That opened the Windows store and the game launched. Maybe that Was just luck,but I wanted to share it with you. Hop it will Start tomorrow as well…
EDIT:
Today it wasnt starting first. I opened mocrosoft.com, account.xbox.com and account.microsoft.com and starter the game like yesterday, but the game did not launch.
After that I stopped the Task Microsoft Skype in TaskManager and logged out from account.xbox.com. Then I logged in at Account.xbox.com again and clicked to some Pages in my xbox Profile (xbox settings…).
In the meantime I tried to start the game 3 times through the Process from yesterday (by the Green Button installieren/wiedergeben on Microsoft.com. The game started at the 3. Try after I logged out and logged in on account.xbox.com and stopped the Task Microsoft Skype.
Hope it helps someone…
So I got it working!
So what I did is resetting windows to factory settings while keeping files, and that actually worked! Yes, it’s an annoying fix since all programs and games (including fh4) on the system do get removed, but only files like documents, pictures, etc. are getting kept.
Then, just reinstall the game and boom. It works.
Instructions on how to do this windows reset: Start>settings>updates and security>Recovery. Then just click on the topmost button and then follow the instructions on the window(s) that pop up.
