How to fix black screen/crash on start up (Windows 10)

The post of lowl1fe helped me to play SxT on my Windows 10 PC.
I've just added some extra details to it...

How to fix black screen/crash on start up (Tested with Win10)

Note [2018]:
Check the Online Fix & Community Mod Patch Guide to fix the black screen/crash problem and more!
I've tested their Community Mod Patch and it works without problems on Win 10.

I will keep this guide up if anyone needs it, because this solution still works:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1: Install the game
( When I tried to start the game = black screen + error message.)

2: Uninstall the Games for Windows live files via -uninstall-
There are two entries, so uninstalled them both!

3: Restart PC. (not necessary?)

4: Download and install this version of GFWL (I didn't bother to fill in any email-adress etc, after the installation)
http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/live/PC/DownloadClient
http://download.gfwl.xboxlive.com/content/gfwl-public/redists/production/xliveredist.msi

(4a: I've got some suggestion about downloading the xlive.dll file and copy it into the directory of the game, but I haven't tried it myself)

5: Start the game.
Don't try to log into an existing account, since there will be no connection anyway.
If you try to save progress you might get a crash since it trys to connect to your GFWL account.
So when you start the game you get the GFWL window. Although I have a account. I just go to -> New profile -> Local profile (it's not a button, the link is in the text!).
Create a local account and use that to save your game.

Enjoy!

Link still works. You need that file to fix the GFWL. Is your reaction a meme?
