Question Forza Horizon 4 not launching

[Jacob 51]

Just bought Forza 4 from Microsoft store and it doesn't seem to launch. There is no error, no window opening, no nothing. The game can be seen in the task manager, consuming 20% CPU and 190 MB RAM.
Reinstalling didn't work, launching from shortcut, store itself didn't work.

I don't think this is a spec issue, since my PC runs all games at playable framerate (except COD Warzone).

My Specs:
GT 1030 DDR5 EXOC
Core i5 3470
12 GB RAM 1600 MHZ
Coolermaster MWE Bronze 450 watt 80+

All Temps below 70 under full load.

I think that's where I went wrong. My MSI afterburner and RTSS are turned on.

if its rtss issue, you can open rtss and change app detection level, it sometimes helps in games with anticheat

No luck. I tried disabling both, but still didn't work.
