So last night i decided to get Forza Horizon 5 on cdkeys but needed to activate it through windows store. Never used windows store before but figured there shouldn't be any issues since i only needed to sign and redeem the code.
The redemption process went without a hitch however when it came to installation.. that's when the problems started.
Initially i tried to install it in the default location on my C drive however i was getting a code Error (Can' t remember exact code now as it was late last night) however some googling said it was a driver incompatibility... Made no sense to me so i did more googling which prompted me to cancel the installation as it was stuck on "Error" and wouldn't let me cancel it.
I had to reset MS store and clear the caches so my drive would show its original storage capacity instead of what MS store had pre-allocated.
I figured maybe it was something to do with the capacity not being enough so i changed the storage location for apps installed in windows store. Tried the installation process again and nope still erroring...
So i did more digging online and found some articles relating to Windowsapps folder and trusted users. I tried to get in at it's new location on my M.2 drive where i changed the windows store app location to but it said i needed to give permission which didn't work. So i had to go into security and change the user to administrator. However now it says its "The access control entry is corrupt. Delete and create a new one".
However! I was able to install the game despite it being corrupt and i can see it in the start menu BUT! i haven't tried to launch it yet since im at work but i have a gut feeling it won't run due to the corrupted access control.
How on earth do i fix this?
Thanks and sorry for the long read!
