Either or I just haven’t been able to see this issue since I’m currently working on getting my account back I was just wondering.

when that happens i just uninstall it and install it again, if not, log out of your account and log back in, i dont know if this will work for you, when i do it it works, so maybe try it?

Could you check the event viewer, in Windows Logs > Applications, and see if there is any error related to Roblox not launching? I guess you also manually tried to open the desktop client.

If there’s a log, feel free to note the error code (it should look like this: 0xabcdef where abcdef are numbers/letters), do not share information like your userprofile if it contains your name whatsoever

Is this relative to the MS version of Roblox or the msi installed one?

Error 0xc0000005 is relative to a program trying to read/write to a memory address it should not access. The system shuts down the process for the integrity of your computer.

There are a few general things you can try to do, one of them (that I always somewhat recommend as just a thing to run whenever an issue arises) is to:

  1. Open a terminal with elevated permissions (run in administrator)
  2. Type sfc /scannow if you’re on cmd, or sfc -scannow if you’re on a bash-ported shell (which shouldn’t be the case if you didn’t install things like git, …).
  3. Wait for the process to finish & see what the output is.

I checked online, the error you have can be encountered due to:

  • Faulty hardware,
  • Corrupted files / faulty installation,
  • An antivirus blocking the process,
  • Drivers that interfere with each other
    And a few other specific cases.

You can find more about the command sfc /scannow on google if you are afraid to run it, which would be a fair reaction!

This is relative to the Roblox Player installed from the Roblox website, not the Microsoft store version.

Alright, I just edited my previous message to give you a few things to try, you can also try to update some drivers as it may be a probable cause (to my understanding)

I would also advise you to write the different components of your computer (CPU, RAM amount, …) & windows version (do Win+R, type winver and write the build version)

If you could also fetch the Roblox app version in %LocalAppdata%\Roblox, but I couldn’t tell you where to find it specifically

I just looked online and saw about a dozen other people in the subreddit r/RobloxHelp reporting the same issue I am having, so it’s most likely a Roblox sided issue mainly.

Maybe, if you updated roblox & this started to occur, it is plausible that the latest update causes this to happen on certain computers
