We can't sync your data with the cloud right now [FIX]

If you bought Forza Horizon 4 for PC, you may encounter We cant sync your data with the cloud right now while trying to play the game online at some point. This error is reported by many Forza Horizon 4 PC users in the Microsoft Community as well as Reddit community forums.

I am having a very frustrating issue that I wanted to see if it was shared.
Basically, I launch the game, it begins to sign in for a second, then it suddenly tells me that “We can’t sync your data with the cloud right now”. It then gives me the option of trying again or playing offline. Trying again doesn’t work, so I press play offline. It then tells me that the sign-in profile has changed and it has to close.

If you are also troubled this error, here is how to fix it on your Windows computer.
