As it turns out, Forza Horizon 5 has been out for a while now and for the most part, the game has been working without any issues except a few like the error code FH301. As we have mentioned, the error code is usually caused by the locally saved data of the app that you are using, be it Microsoft Store or the Xbox app. As such, you will have to reset the apps in an attempt to resolve the problem in question. With that said, let us get started and show you the different methods that you can use to resolve the issue.
Update using Microsoft Store
The first thing that you should do when you encounter the problem in question while trying to update Forza Horizon 5 is to try using the Microsoft Store. In some cases, the error code in question may appear when you are using the Xbox app on your system to update the game but the problem doesn’t occur while using an alternate app. This can sometimes happen when the cache of the Xbox app is damaged which causes the issue. As such, open up the Microsoft Store and try updating the game from there to see if the problem persists.
Use Xbox App
As it turns out, some users are coming across the error code mentioned above while trying to update the game through the Microsoft Store. In such a scenario, what you can do is download the Xbox app on your computer and force an installation of the Microsoft Store. The issue, in some cases, occurs when you are missing the Microsoft Store package on your system. This has been reported by another user who was facing a similar issue. To do this, follow the instructions given down below:
Reset Xbox App
Another way that you can resolve the problem in question is to reset the Xbox app that is installed on your computer. Like we have mentioned, the problem can sometimes occur when the locally stored cache is corrupted or damaged which can interfere with the games and update processes. To sort this out, follow the instructions down below:
Reset Microsoft Store and Forza Horizon 5
In case resetting the Xbox app does not fix the problem for you, then it is very likely that the problem may be caused by either the cache files of the game itself or the Microsoft Store. In such a scenario, you can try resetting the data of the Microsoft Store app first followed by Forza Horizon 5. To do this, follow the instructions that are given down below:
Reinstall Forza Horizon 5
Finally, if none of the above methods have fixed the problem for you and you are still encountering the error code, then you will have to, unfortunately, reinstall the game on your computer. However, before you do so, some users have reported that they were able to resolve the issue by canceling the update and then running it over again. Therefore, we would recommend doing that before you go ahead and completely uninstall the game. In case that does not work out, then in such a scenario, you will have to completely reinstall the game on your system. To uninstall the game, follow the instructions given down below:
