Hello,
I am in need of great assistance. I recently downloaded Forza 7 on my pc through the microsoft store (what a mess), and after waiting 31 hours to download a 100GB monster on a 10Mb/s connection, I finally sat down to enjoy 4k HDR racing when (after displaying splash art) crashed. My first though was: "Hey i'm a techy person, I can do this, I watch linus tech tips so i'm basically a god." So I smashed that windows key and went to event viewer. I scrolled through and found the application error (Posted at the bottom of this article) and immediately resulted to Google. I found that I am not alone (over a few thousand people have had this). I religiously read the forza forum where people had the same problem and went through the solutions (The link to the forum is at the bottom as well). A big problem was found regarding the Windows service PushToInstall and how switching the startup type to automatic would fix all the issues since the problem is microsoft's store. Anyway, so I followed the steps, but never fixed the issue. The service always remains stopped and even when I manually start it, it says its running and after about 30 seconds its at the stopped state again. I contacted microsoft and go figure had this person who I was explaining in detail what I have done, what I have found, and possible issues I think are at fault, and was just told "try restarting your computer". After wasting an hour being transferred to Xbox division and back, I said fk it and am making this post to see if any people who are more knowledgeable then me can help me resolve my issues. Since my internet speed is slow and its such a large file, I want to try to leave out reinstalling until a last resort. Anyway thank you for any advice/help, I will provide any logs needed.
Here is the application error:
