I'm experiencing constant crashes to desktop in this game, where the game completely freezes for a few seconds, and then the game closes. I can't find any solutions to my issue, and I was experiencing a similar issue with Forza Horizon 4 months ago. I've tried contacting Forza Support, but they didn't fix my issue.
My machine specs are:
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
Powercolor Radeon RX 5700 XT Red Devil
32 GB DDR4 RAM @ 3200 MHz
ASRock B450M/ac
When the game crashes, I get two near-identical Application Errors:
Faulting application name: ForzaMotorsport7.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5d3a447d

Also attached is a screen recording done while the game crashed. Note, the game crashes regardless whether I'm screen recording or not.

This is a Windows issue that will be fixed in the next update according to Kingfish thread: https://community.amd.com/t5/general-discussions/use-windows-game-mode-while-gaming-on-your-windows-...
I disabled "Game Mode" in Windows, but the problem persists.
It's most likely a driver related issue, the only solution to date is to downgrade the drivers to 21.3.1 WHQL as described here. It's worth saying that this will only make the crash happen less frequently rather than fix it completely.
Let us know if it works for you. Though it would be even great if we got a patch instead
Here's a fragment of the crash report I get (report.wer file in Windows Event Visor) when the game crashes
