Hello This Is A Form I Filled Out So I Can Give Context On What Is Happening :wink:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    Im Trying To Play Roblox Normally On My Laptop
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    Roblox Is Starting As Background Process Only
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    1st. i tried to reinstall windows (no hard reset), 2nd. i tried make a second user account 3rd. copying the roblox files from programm files (x86) to the D: drive 4th. and i tried launching roblox in windows 8 compatability mode (none of those worked) Note: I Dont Have MSI Afterburner Or RivaTurner Or Any Enhancment/Overclocking Programm

Here is a video of me trying to launch roblox (firstly without bloxstrap and then with bloxstrap)
the opened roblox process on the taskbar is the store version only working when it was started right when windows booted standby closes it or sometimes studio tooā€¦ (idk how)

My Laptop Is A Asus Rog G752VL Running Windows 10 22h2 and has a problem with starting robloxā€¦

Having the same issue. Iā€™ve tried everything, reinstalling, uninstalling apps that could cause it not to launch, etc. But to no success.

Now Roblox Player client is not launching from the website at all

Edit: roblox studio appears to be working, but if someone still experiences issues with roblox client then use Bloxstrap

i found the reason to why its happening its absolutly messed up. The reason to why is because the pc is running on windows 10 even a clean install (fresh windows install without included manufacturer software) wont do its job but updating my os to windows 11 (which sadly doesnt work cuz of the manufacturer software) opens robloxā€¦

Just reset my PC a second time. This time, however, I only had Roblox installed (no other programs!). Tried to open Roblox from the web and from the application, no luck. Other programs werenā€™t conflicting with the app launch, itā€™s just the app itself with the problem.

Helloā€¦ This issue is still happening today. I completely wiped Oculus (even with a system resotre) but that was no use. I have had to reinstall windows/change to a different user as a way to solve this.
