Forza Horizon 4 keeps crashing on start.

Hi, yesterday I got the xbox gamepass for PC. The main reason for this was to get access to Forza Horizon 4, but when I finally downloaded it and tried to launch it, it didn't work. I've looked around on the forums and I haven't found any fixes yet. I tried uninstalling MSI afterburner, resetting my save data (didn't work cuz I had never played it before). I have a good enough pc: GTX 1050 Ti, Ryzen 5 2600X, 8gb ram, 500GB ssd, etc. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game countless times.

Nothing worked. 

I tried using Event Viewer, these are the logs:

Faulting application name: ForzaHorizon4.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5d8e8039

Faulting module name: ForzaHorizon4.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5d8e8039

I tried disabling development mode in Windows Powershell. I tried going on an administrator account to try it on there, still didn't launch. I tried 

Installing the game on my laptop that I use for college. Same error codes, none of the fixes worked on there either.

Could anyone please help me with this? I'm tired of going through the same Forum posts.

    For me disabling Bitdefender fixed the issue. Now the game starts without crashing. Thank you!

    There are a lot of "fixes" which 'cause this trouble. Mine was the Nahimic - Sound Driver from the Mainboard and on another PC the MSI Afterburner Tool.
    A good advise I can give you is to use a "new" Windows Profile with Admin Privileges, Then turn OFF all Services and AutoStart Apps you have (via the "Task-Manager" for the AutoStart and "msconfig" for the Services) Turn OFF everything what is not needed. You can dimnish all MS Services, so you have already a good start. And then give it a Try. If you don't know what I'm writing then give Google sugar and you'll find all answers you need (also eyplained as Videos @ YouTube).
    I know this sucks, but imho the Game is the BEST OpenWorld Racer ever.
    I hold my thumbs for you.
