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

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.

    I am ecstatic. I tried this fix, thinking it was just another one that wouldn't work like usual. I did what he said and it said the program was still running so I had to restart. It then worked, and I have been playing the game for 10 minutes now, a million percent more time than i have ever gotten since this problem. It seems the program is listed as a windows service so I assume that its on all windoes devices, although I could be wrong. Thanks so much for the temporary/permanent fix

    Hi guys after a long time of searching, now i fixed it by disabling Nahimic service 

    Win + R > msconfig > services > Nahimic service

    Ibrahim,

    Thanks for your suggestion, I am assuming that "Nahimic service" is an overlay or background process that you have installed on your device.

    When I was researching/troubleshooting this problem earlier, I came across many posts suggesting disabling certain services or overlays in order to enable the game to launch. While this may work for some people (and I am glad it works for you), it will not work for everybody else.

    There is still an underlying problem for some users that do not have any overlays or conflicting background programs running.

    I've heard this too. You would think that signing into the Microsoft Store where you purchased the product, with the account you purchased the product, on the computer that you purchased the product, and install would solve that.

    Key words: PURCHASED THE PRODUCT What gives Microsoft? If this goes on unsupported, you better start handing out refunds when people start asking for their money back.
