[INVESTIGATING] [PC] Forza 7 will not launch.

Had this problem pop up like a week ago and it still isn’t fixed. Get on it!

Working fine on my pc

Maybe if you actually provide some details on what’s happening someone might be able to help you
Also pc details too

Really pointless to just say it broke , fix it
Most likely issues on your end

Wow, rude to customers much. I have the same issue with my pc, Xbox one x, and Xbox one S, and with Forza Horizon 3 as well as Forza 7. Also, from all the other post on this forum, I would say it was not his problem but Microsofts and Turn 10.

In general, the attitude that Turn 10 has towards its customers has plenty of room for improvement.

Tech support is one of the better aspects if you can believe that.

This problem had a simple workaround.

Start installing any other Windows Store program (I choose a free one like Skype or Netflix), then once it starts downloading, stop the install.

This reinstalls some certificates from Windows Store and Forza will launch.

It just shows the splash screen for a few seconds and then closes.
Also Horizon 3 got the same problem literally at the same time.
This is a thread about it, but none of the solutions suggested about it worked for me.

Hello

I have had the same issue

I would advice uninstalling and reinstalling Skype

This fixed it for me

PS

I know this sounds like a troll but it is not, try it, cant hurt?

Some here, after the update of windows, tried everthing like un/reinstall the game or download a ramdom app from MS Store. None of them works for me.

This is a known issue and we are currently investigating this.

That list doesn’t have my problem! I did not get an error message!

Hello

I get this quite often.

Here is the fix:

Go to system services (click start, then type services, you will see services with the little cog)
Find service: Windows pushtoinstall service.
Double click it, you will see it is set to manual, Change this to automatic, and push start to start it now.

Now try open Forza 7

This seems to reset its self either after an update to forza or new graphics driver??? Not sure as it is pretty random for me when it happens.

This works for me, I have to manually start the service every time I turn on the PC. Setting it to Automatic doesn’t work, PC reverts back to Manual (Triggered)

I’m giving you the answer Soy. When an app opens and closes right away it is a windowsapps folder permission issue most of the time. This installing an app only gives temporary permission and is not a fix. How many times do I have to post this? Again the too many topics on this cause no one to see the solution. If it works for you guys say so and if it doesn’t also say so. Just be careful and follow the directions and make sure you know where your windowsapps folder is located.

That doesn’t work for me.

Can you send a screenshot of the permission screen for that folder pls

That solved it for me, F7 and Horizon 3 have been loading for days without problems.

The supposed solution is posted here

Guess what? Updating Windows didn’t fix it for me. You’d better fix this.

Microsoft community forum on this issue in general. There are various fixes here and you are going to have to weed through this and try a few. It’s really a Windows issue with the Store and not really something Turn 10 can fix. It sucks but just google the problem and you will find a lot of different techniques. Since you did update Windows you need to check that windowsapps folder again. Good luck.

I had this problem today, it turns out it detects riva tuner which is installed by MSI afterburner and closes due to it. (it opens when I close riva tuner, I assume it detects the screen overlay and anti-cheat kicks in)

These tools often cause game crashes because of the way they work. Thats not anti cheat ^^

Does anyone know of something else to try? I still can’t get it to run.
