I recently purchased Forza Motorsport 2023 from Steam, not the Microsoft store. After installing and launching the game, it takes a while to load and then stops with an error message.

When I click "OK", I'm prompted to download the Microsoft game service, which takes me to a page where I'm stuck. Despite the game being listed as installed in the "Libraries" tab, I can't open, uninstall, or use it.

I believe this application is necessary to launch the game, so I'd appreciate any help in figuring out how to use it to get the game running.

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this technical issue.
