What to Do
Please try each step below, one at a time, in order. If one solution doesn't work, move on to the next!
Reboot
First reboot your computer and try to play. Sometimes this may be all that is needed to solve Roblox or Roblox Studio related problems.
Reset Internet Options for Windows
We have found that many Roblox and Roblox Studio issues can be solved by resetting your computer's Internet Options. Please keep in mind that these steps will need to use Internet Explorer, but will fix many problems even for players that use other browsers such as Chrome or Firefox. Please try the following :
Open Internet Explorer
Open the gear icon > Internet options
Open the Advanced tab
Click the Reset button
After resetting, please close the Internet Explorer to allow the changes to take effect. After this has been completed, you should be able to go back to using your web browser of choice.
Clear your Temporary Internet Files
An important step in any uninstall or reinstall process is to clear your browser's temporary internet files. This will help with any corruption issues that might have arisen. For assistance with this process, please click here and see the "Clear Your Temporary Internet Files and Cookies" section.
Check your Firewall
A lot of antivirus or internet security software tries to control which programs can access the internet. Often, these programs err on the side of caution and by default no program is allowed access. For assistance with looking into this and allowing Roblox through any blockages, click here.
Reinstall Roblox
For assistance with reinstalling, please click here.
Update Internet Explorer
Please try updating your Internet Explorer to the latest version. You can find that by clicking here Even if you do not currently use IE as a browser, you will still need to make sure you have the most updated version on your Windows machine in order for Roblox to work properly.
To Minimize Future Problems
Always ensure that all programs are closed on your computer before installing or updating Roblox. Also ensure that Internet Explorer is up to date with the latest version.
