Hi bro it seems i found a solution, at least for me.

What happened is that your windows profile got corrupted. I made another administrator account and now the game launches perfectly/fine.

Have you found a solution ? I think I have found one.

I’ve narrowed the problem down to the Xbox account in particular. When I sign in using a brand new Xbox account, I can log into the game just fine.

I don’t play any other Xbox games so it just be some kind of setting on my Xbox account? Any way to reset all of that?

Like most people suggested, I log in the Administrator user account and successfully ran the game from there. Then the game should run from my normal user account; like people said. Unfortunately the game didnt run from my normal user account. Then I deleted the Microsoft.Forza folder from C/User/(ur current user account)/Local/Package. And the game ran. Make sure you create a backup of that folder.

I tried this, creating a new Administrator account. I am not able to log into the game.

When I switch Xbox accounts, I can log into the game.

try deleting that folder.

I deleted the folder and rebooted the game. I am still experiencing an infinite loading screen on the splash page when booting up the game.

When I switch Xbox accounts to a newly made account on the Xbox app, the game works just fine.

Played another Xbox Studios game, Halo Infinite, and I was able to log in with my original Microsoft account with Xbox gamertag and the game works just fine when I log in with my account.

This makes me think the issue is isolated to Forza Motorsport.

Thank you friend, this worked for me, I had been looking for an open ticket solution for almost 1 month and had not found anything that worked, I will report this in my ticket to Forza support.
