I've had this error since yesterday when playing Forza Horizon 5.
Gaming Services got an update yesterday and that's when the problem started.
I was able to fix it by signing out of the Xbox app, completely uninstalling Gaming Services, then relaunch the Xbox app. This re-installed Gaming Services and when I signed in again the game was fine.

Another GS update this morning, same problem. The same fix worked again.
All other games work fine.

This error has nothing to do with Windows 11 in my view.

No I think it's a Forza issue but Windows Gaming Services is needed to play it. One is not happy with the other.

Problem is now every time I check for Windows app updates, Gaming Services get re-installed anyway so I have to do the repair thing every single time. I've raised a ticket with Forza support.
