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 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.

    I read on the Forza "My Game is Not Launching or is Crashing on PC" page and one of the options was to uninstall and reinstall Microsoft Visual C++ programs. I did that, rebooted, and the game launched without crashing. What's odd is that when I closed the game and reopened it, it went back to crashing every time. So, I don't know if it has to do with Visual C++ or no.

    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
