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

Exception code: 0xc0000005

Fault offset: 0x00000000005b15d4

Faulting process id: 0xad7c

Faulting application start time: 0x01d57abe98e849f3

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_1.351.461.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\ForzaHorizon4.exe

Faulting package full name: Microsoft.SunriseBaseGame_1.351.461.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Faulting package-relative application ID: SunriseReleaseFinal

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.

    No fix, devs are total noobs if they can't fix this for a long time, what a mess.

    Has everyone forgot about this issue or am I missing something?

    Has a resolution been found, is this still a problem, am I the only one left on the planet?

    Looks like game devs are total dumbs, unable to fix this error more than a year, how useless they should be?

    I too am plagued with this exact issue.  I have followed all the Microsoft recommendations without any benefit.  The game ran fine for several weeks then stopped.  It's not hardware related, I well exceed the requirements.  I even rebuilt the Windows OS just to rule that out.  It worked then for a couple hours then failed again with the same error.  All drivers are current, all Microsoft updates applied.  I paid for a game I was only able to play for a few weeks.  Great game, horrible experience.  Please post a fix, this is unacceptable.
