I had to dual boot into windows 10 to play just this one game. I think the problem is windows 11 locks the folder and files down. But windows 10 does not. Has any found a fix or Microsoft Can you please look into this. If everyone is supposed to upgrade to 11 then I think it should be fixed.

Windows for home | Windows 11 | Microsoft Store

    Hello ,

    I’m here to help you in resolving your issue

    Some users have reported that removing the TargetHardwareProfiler.dll file from the game's directory can resolve launch issues:

    Access the Game's Installation Folder:

    For Steam users:

    1: Open the Steam client and go to your Library.

    2: Right-click on 'Forza Horizon 4', select 'Manage', then 'Browse local files'.

    For Microsoft Store users:

    1: Navigate to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps and locate the 'Forza Horizon 4' folder.

    2: Within the game's directory, find and delete the TargetHardwareProfiler.dll file.

    Removing this file has been effective for some players in resolving launch issues.

    After trying above steps, please reach out to me if you have any doubts or issues

    The folder states I do not have permission to access the folder. I try taking control of the folder and still does not work.
