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.

    A quick fix for FH3's failure to launch is to go to the Microsoft Store and download/install any app from the store and then launch FH3 and is should now work.  Only thing about this is that the problem can happen again for what ever apparent reason and I would have to go back to the store and download an app again just to get FH3 to work again.  It's been over a year and they can't fix this game???  SMH.

    Yes it works, but does not solve random crashes and i have to download something each time I play. I usually download something small like Photoshop free but I need to delete and re download it every time no mater what.

    Hi Jared,

    We have noticed that the post has been idle for quite some time now. We'd like to check and confirm if you're still having the same issue with your Forza Horizon 3. Also, does this happen on a specific game only?

    We will be waiting for your response.
