Is it impossible for you to start the Roblox game on your Windows 11/10 PC? Here is a comprehensive guide on resolving Roblox launching and beginning difficulties on PC.
Unless Roblox stops working, playing it is fun. However, lately, many players have reported Roblox not launching problems. If you are here, looking for a solution, you are sailing in the same boat with them. Whatever the case be, no worries, we’ve got some workable fixes to troubleshoot Roblox not working.
Different reasons prevent Roblox from opening or starting on a PC. Here are some possible causes that lead to Roblox isn’t working issue:
In some cases it is Windows 11 Home Insider Preview, Version 23H2 that prevents Roblox. Therefore we suggest you to update Windows or if you are okay see if downgrading to Windows 10 helps. Also, if you are using a VPN disable it right now as VPN and proxy interfere with the working of Roblox.
To fix Roblox not working on the PC, the first thing you should do is restart the PC. After performing this simple trick, many players can launch Roblox. So please don’t skip it; try restarting the system before moving ahead.
If restarting the PC doesn’t work for you, no worries. We’ve other fixes.
As Roblox is an online game, if there’s a service outage or the server is down for maintenance, facing issues while launching it is bound to happen. Therefore, whenever you face issues with Roblox, check the current server status and contact Roblox’s support team or check their social media handles for more information.
You can play Roblox by visiting its website and using the Play button that opens a pop-up window, allowing you to launch the Roblox app. The browser might have an issue if the pop-up window doesn’t open or Roblox does not launch. Clear browser cache and cookies, or use an alternate browser.
In addition to this, we suggest you reset the Internet options. To do so, follow these steps:
To remove temporary Internet Files, follow these steps:
Some files might not get deleted as the application is in use. So don’t worry.
Next, to delete cookies in Google Chrome, follow these steps. The method will be more or less the same for other modern browsers:
If the above fixes did not help, try running Roblox as Admin.
If you want to keep a backup, rename the folder instead of deleting it.
Another reason for the game not working is that you are using a proxy server. To solve it, disable proxy settings:
Now, try to launch Roblox and see if it is working.
Your problem might be because of some issue in the Roblox app. To fix it, update the app from Microsoft Store. If this doesn’t help, update Windows.
To update Windows, follow these steps:
If you are trying to run Roblox on Chrome, you need to ensure that Roblox is allowed to run. To do that, follow these instructions:
Suppose you remember clicking the Do Nothing button. You will need to reinstall Roblox and follow the instructions mentioned above. However, if that doesn’t help, try updating or running Roblox in a different browser.
Sometimes, browser plugins like AdBlock can also prevent Robox from working. Therefore, we suggest disabling them.
To disable it in Google Chrome, follow these instructions:
Try changing the graphics level to a lower level to get Roblox working again.
Note: If the Graphics Mode is set to Automatic, you’ll need to change it to Manual; only then can you make the changes.
Alternatively, you can use Roblox Studio to change the graphics settings.
Remember, switching to a lower graphics level will distort the image quality.
In addition to this, we also suggest updating the graphics card.
Sometimes, outdated graphics card driver also causes this type of problem. To fix it, update the graphics driver. You can visit the graphics card manufacturer’s official site > download and install the latest drivers.
Alternatively, you can use Device Manager to update the graphics card. To do so, follow these steps:
However, you can update the graphics card driver automatically if you don’t want to.
To update the graphics card driver without any issues, use Advanced Driver Updater. The software will automatically find outdated drivers and show compatible updates. To get the tool, click the button below:
Once you have Advanced Driver Updater installed, follow these steps to update the
If you need assistance, please contact Advanced Driver Updater’s support team at support@systweak.com.
Sometimes, your antivirus or firewall may block Roblox access. Therefore, disable your antivirus software and internet firewall to fix the issue.
After disabling the firewall and antivirus, you know where the problem lies. Add Roblox to the exception list. For assistance, contact the support team of your antivirus. However, if you use Windows Firewall, follow these steps:
Corrupted or missing Registry keys may potentially prevent you from starting Roblox. You can fix an invalid registry using the Registry Cleaner module offered by Advanced System Optimizer.
Note: Before changing or restoring your Registry, make a backup. If something goes wrong, you can always revert to a previous version of Windows.
In addition, you can run an SFC scan to fix corrupt system files:
Sometimes, due to compatibility issues, Discord can cause Roblox to crash. Therefore, we suggest disabling Discord’s in-game overlay for Roblox.
If the Roblox not launching problem is caused by a network connection, change the DNS server address and see if it helps.
If none of the above fixes have worked, try reinstalling Roblox. Here’s all you need to do:

After that, remove the Roblox folder by following the steps below:

Hello Rogers,
To fix the Roblox not launching issue on Windows 10 we suggest you add roblox under the trusted sites.

Right-click Command Prompt and then select Run as administrator. The User Account Control window may appear. If this happens, click Yes. In the Command Prompt window, type the following command bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING OFF and then press Enter. Restart your computer. It helped me.
I launch the roblox player and It opens for a splot second then closes... I have attempted all of these methods and None have aided me.
Dear Oliver,
We are sorry to hear that the issue with Roblox persists.
To help you fix the issue we suggest you open the disk on which Roblox is downloaded (for me its C). Right-click on it > and select the option clear/clean disk > select everything on the list leaving SYSTEM FILES. If you are not sure about what you are selecting take help from an expert and then clear cache, temp file etc. Now try to open Roblox.
We hope this helps.
