Ah. I didn’t see that post when I wrote this. Windows Insider builds are time limited for beta testing only. I was a member of the insider program doing beta testing for Microsoft.

I have build 25977 and ROBLOX still doesn’t work. Does anyone have similar issues or just me?
I’m having major issues too.
At first the player was just crashing with an unexpected error once I was in an experience for 5-10 seconds. I de-installed roblox and now I can’t even get into an experience (the launcher crashes before I can click “play”).
I tried removing my xbox controller as I had heard that an issue with Hapticservice controllers was causing PC’s to crash in player, but that hasn’t fixed it either.
Having this similar issue when I try to open Roblox on the browser, it doesn’t launch Roblox Player, however it works on the Roblox desktop app.

I really hope this will be fixed because it seems to come and go for me,
When it does not work it takes like 2 months for it to fix itself.
Some info i gathered:
Reinstalling the ROBLOX client does not work (including fully wiping it from your PC)
It does not relate to windows versions
(Just before i switched to Windows 11 on a new SSD, it started on Windows 10 and ended a month later on Windows 11)
And
It seems to be crash errors if i remember correctly.
This issue also seems to be going around more lately.
It is also different for everyone,
This time it tries to update ROBLOX and then not load the game.
The one time before it had the same issue as the video evidence in this post.
This moment when plug in generic gamepad controller while running Roblox just crashed and not popup the message (Using open-sourced Bloxstrap), and not launching, when removing the gamepad controller working just fine[not compatible generic gamepad controllers]. Roblox studio working this controller just fine and also menu from Xbox and PlayStation 4/5.
Post Scrimption, Using like DualShock 1-2 and PS [SpeedLink strike gamepad] controller.
same. roblox is on but nothing is displaying. look at task manager and you will see roblox there but yeah you can just end the task.
roblox updated and now it’s displaying it
roblox doesnt start on windows 11 build 26040. waiting for a fix or roblox to just get rid of the anticheat which breaks insider builds

I don’t think this is going to change, Insider builds have 0 support rn
Now it’s not even a crash. I don’t see the process launch for more than a second.

Still investigating this bug? I have already installed after Insider build 26052.
this is happening to me and has been happening since some time in January. roblox just doesn’t open, no pop-up, no loading symbol nothin!!
My troubleshooting steps
- Reset PC (with an usb iso, clean install)This did work temporarily, managed to open it once and play successfully, but after that, it stopped working.
- Reinstall Roblox (full wipe from AppData\Local\Roblox)
- Using a proxy/vpn
- Using another browser
- Opening Roblox Player app from Windows rather than pressing play through a browser
- Using the Microsoft Store version of Roblox
- Disabling Windowed Optimisations/Other Graphics Settings
- Resetting BIOS to defaults
- Updating BIOS
- Updating Graphics (clean install) and Chipset Drivers
- Updating Windows (to 22631.3155)
- Using a Virtual Machine
- Changing Graphics Settings to High Performance/Power Saving
- Using another network/mobile service
- Using other PCs (one did work! but has an identical setup to the other two, so no findings there)
- Toggling Secure Boot
- Toggling XMP
- Running Roblox as Administrator

i emailed roblox and they said they’re aware of it and trying to fix it but gave no eta

Did you ask AI for answers or smth? Some of these hardly make any sense
Some anti-cheats require Secure Boot to be enabled, and some other applications may have issues with it being enabled. I tried enabling and disabling to remove the possibility of this being an issue.
An example of an anti-cheat that requires Secure Boot is Riot Vanguard.
mine works completely now, no crashing.
must’ve updated?
I have a solution for this problem i have been using for a year already, Roblox pls just fix this, anyway let’s get to the point. Do Win + R and type %localappdata% then find the Roblox folder and head to Versions.
In the folder:
Go into any of these version folders
and if u can find Installer.exe or Launcher.exe
then run either of them and wait for it to fully install Roblox again, now hopefully Roblox should work again normally. Sadly this solution will only work for 2 weeks or so, then u just redo it.
