Unable to launch FH5 - Faulting application name: GamingServicesUI.exe

Bug Info: Unable to launch FH5

This is how it appears when I launch, see how most of it is not showing:


I then click the hidden button next to the bar which attempts to start a download, then it closes and does not boot.

Checking Event Viewer logs I get these errors:
