I have an issue with Forza Horizon 3 where if I try to launch the game, it instantly crashes. There is no popup for failure of any sort and it just looks as if nothing happened, just as if I closed the game right away. My computer is faster than needed to run the game and is updated to the newest version of Windows 10. I have seen many ways to fix the issue but none work. If anyone knows how to fix this, that could help not just me but allot of other people.

I had the same problem where Forza Horizon 3 would crash on launch with no message.
I installed an app from the windows store that I already owned, but wasn't installed. I cancelled it right after the download started, and my game launched correctly the next time I started it.
Hope this helps someone
I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT! The account you use for the Microsoft store must be the same as the local account on your computer. Go to the settings and swap them there. Then restart and sign in and play
Well, this actually worked. Thank you. Hope this "fix" will last until they finally fix it, which might be never.
I have this problem since last year and I have tried everything that has been suggested in many sites including Forza Horizon forum. I can not believe that this very annoying issue has not been fixed yet.
This really forces me not to buy any other game from Microsoft. It is a pity because I like Forza Horizon but I am really upset with all the time spent trying to fix it.

Thank you for the update Jared.

To resolve your concern, please make sure that your Windows 10 device is running version 1607, 14393.102 or later.
