I can confirm this is also an issue for me, especially lately. I’m glad I’m not the first person that had to report this. The workaround that seems to work is that I uninstall studio entirely and reinstall- but it almost always re-appears.

Judging by the number of people experiencing this issue, staff should really take a look into this.

One way around it is to right-click the Studio icon on your desktop and hit “Run as administrator”, though it’s a bit annoying

Oh, did I mention this makes installing plugins from the Roblox website impossible?

This only occurs in the first place if you installed Roblox/Roblox Studio as an administrator; you should uninstall Studio and then reinstall it as a standard user.

Updated Workaround
You can attempt to uninstall studio and reinstall it without accepting any administrator permissions.

Just affirming that this is the correct workaround for this issue. Make sure to install Studio only for the current user and not as administrator. Thanks @chexburger!

The team is looking into disabling admin installation in the future to avoid this issue entirely.

Here’s a problem:

1. I completely uninstalled Roblox (Studio and Player) from ALL accounts on my Windows 10;
2. Cleaned all residual files;
3. I cleaned all the Roblox trace in the Windows registry.
4. Installed Roblox Player and then Roblox Studio (no admin privilege).

So far so good: All new Roblox installations installed normally to C:\Users\%UserName%\AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions

However, when trying to open a place in Studio via the link Create - Roblox :

… Studio was forced to be installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Roblox\Versions\

Now what?

Could you post this separately with all these details so I can forward your issue to the right team? Thanks!

EDIT: found your thread

This problem still persist for me. Very important in order to fix a game breaking bug!

Are you saying the fix above does not work for you?
