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!

    Same issue here. Iv went through the forum and tried all suggested fixes and nothing is working.

    Error report showed -

    I don't have any 3rd party AV installed, just Windows Defender. Disabled this, didn't work.

    The game has been reset...several times

    I don't have any Nahimich (whatever its called) process

    Iv reset the store

    Tried troubleshooting

    Iv just recently reinstalled windows also, so it's a fresh install.

    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    cheers.

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

    Usually this is happening with a faulting Third-Party App or with a faulting HW Element + Driver.

    So, strip down your PC and put off EVERY AUTO-START and SERVICE not needed.

    Furthermore you can take an old HD just to install a complete clean Windows with only the Video-Card Driver and then to check if it's running. If you have this information it should be more easy to find out what is.

    Regards
