 <h2 align="center">Fix for the Forza Horizon 4 Crashes</h2>
 
-<p align="center">
-Hello! Forza Horizon 4 is known for its crashes, and often it happens because of the explorer. It happened to me too, so I decided to look for a fix. 
-Found some that stop and launch explorer with the num button and found it uncomfortable. I made a simple batch file that helped me a lot and I'm still using it. 
+<p>Hey! Forza Horizon 4 is not a perfect game and you may experience some unexpected game crashes. In most cases, this happens due to a running explorer.exe process. (Game from Microsoft crashing because of software from Microsoft, funny, right?)<br>This fix should help you to overcome this issue! <a href="#how-does-it-work">See details.</a>

-<h3>So how does it work?</h3>
+<h2>:grey_question: How does it work?</h2>
+<p>
+Download the <b>preferred</b> version above and run the batch file. This version is compatible with Windows 10 Home and Pro editions and should run correctly. If you experienced some difficulties, you may download the light version, it will run the game without requesting admin rights and without services check.<br>
+After the batch file starts, it will request admin rights for further operations. It will check for required Xbox services and start them if they're disabled. Then your game will start and after some time explorer.exe process will be killed, it starts as soon as you exit the game.
+</p>
 <p>
-<i>(If you run FH4Fix.bat)</i><br>
-First, it starts Forza with high priority.<br>
-Then you'll have to wait 50 seconds for the game to finally start. On my PC it starts after around 50 seconds so that's it.<br>
-Then the explorer process will be killed, it launches again as soon as you close the game.<br><br>
-If this didn't help or you've experienced some errors in-game, try launching FH4Fix Services(run as administrator). It does exactly the same thing, just checks for important Xbox services and starts them before the game.
+<b>Warning!</b><br>
+This fix is only for the Microsoft Store version of Forza Horizon 4.<br>
+Once exlorer.exe is killed, you are not able to switch between different windows (Shift+Tab) and even adjust the volume. If you want to adjust the volume or something else, enter the Ctrl+Alt+Del screen, everything works fine there.
