It ran great until I bought the Ultimate Add-Ons bundle, now it simply crashes after showing the splash screen for 30 seconds.

From the event viewer:

The program ForzaHorizon4.exe version 0.0.0.0 stopped interacting with Windows and was closed. To see if more information about the problem is available, check the problem history in the Security and Maintenance control panel.

 Application Path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_1.351.461.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\ForzaHorizon4.exe

Edit 12/13/2019: After installing the latest update last night, the game seemed to start fine. I will continue to update this post with status.

Edit 12/14/2019: The game no longer starts.

Edit 12/28/2019: See user realcoda's post on page 5 for a solution. Be sure to back up everything on your PC before attempting as it involves editing your registry.

Edit 2/19/2020: The game runs after today's patch.

Edit 2/21/2020: Today's patch has reintroduced the original issue.

    I couldn't agree more lol, I'll keep checking for the next hour or so then will have to get some sleep and hopefully wake up to a new patch/fix lol. With any luck future patches won't keep breaking the game

    ha. it must be getting closer, i replied to forza and told them there is no update showing. I will try again later or tomorrow. Waited this long so a bit longer wont hurt. It is such a shame because it is a fantastic game,good game play and graphics are the best ive seen.
