Unable to play on PC: Error "You may not proceed without being signed in to a profile"

Hi, hoping someone can help! :slight_smile:

I’ve downloaded “Forza Horizont 4 Standard Edition” for PC (Win 10) via Microsoft Store and I am able to launch the game, but as soon as i press enter it says Sing In Required “You may not proceed without being signed in to a profile

I heard lots of ppl had or still have this issue to this day.

I did some research and found this https://forums.forza.net/turn10_postst100908_I-FOUND-A-FIX-FOR-THE-SIGN-IN-NEEDED-ISSUE-IN-FORZA-HORIZON-3.aspx (for Forza 3 though) where it says I need to try creating a new microsoft acct, sign in with it as it should allow me to download some sort of an udpate which would then allow me to play without issues, and so I properly signed out of my original microsoft account and created a new one, signed into new account via microsoft store and can see my game there, clicked play (see screenshot) and same issue, game starts and then when it asks to press enter and i do it i get the same msg saying i cant proceed.

I then clicked on downloads and updates (see screenshots below) and found no pending updates for any of the apps i had on the list which included forza 4, but i still clicked on GET UDPATES (see screenshot) and after 5 seconds it said im good to go (it actually always said that, when i did it with prev accnt as well), launched the game ,but still asks me to sign in. Maybe the update that i need is located somewhere else, but i dont know where then.

I never had xbox one account and i think i dont have it now either, but i beleive there is something xbox related on my pc though by default, so i dont know if i need to do anything xbox related on my pc or not, but i was made aware i didnt need xbox accnt to be able to play the game.

I would really appreciate proper step by step instructions as to what i couldl do and how in order to correct this.

Thanks a lot ppl.

I think I have figured it out, all good!

The game now works, sorry for trouble, but I guess this thread can be deleted/closed now, unless it should stay on in case someone else runs into this.

Regards,

I have the same exact problem.

Happens for me as well. Needs to get fixed ASAP.

Its all good, it ended up being that everything XBOX related was disabled on my PC, so had to enable everything related to XBOX live on my pc and all worked, game is working.
