[XarkDev (Xark)]

A temporary fix which is currently working for me is downloading roblox from the microsoft store and playing from there, its not comfortable at all but it is a fix for it.

[siimplygentle (Lucas)]

these are the logs, doesn’t even log when i try to open the robloxplayer

[Jezzie_Dev (Jezzie)]

I have a fix for this! I’ve experienced this bug for over a year, but there is a temporary fix (until Roblox updates again, then you must repeat the step.)

Roblox Client Refuses to Launch When Opening From a Browser

I’ve found the solution! For anyone who can’t start roblox from his browser, but can from roblox app needs to do this to fix it: Firstly, get into roblox file folder, you can do that by right clicking Roblox Player on your desktop and choosing “Open File Location” option. (if you can’t find Roblox Player, you can find roblox file directory manually by searching it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Roblox\Versions. You should find version folder that has RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe inside of it) After yo…

[bruno6690 (SMLE22)]

It’s annoying how Roblox Player has this issue for years, meanwhile studio works without a hitch.

[Am_Nixe]

After using this fix, it still doesn’t work. It seems like this time it’s a new issue.

[xCrisx1 (Cris)]

I have the same problem, except it’s also happening to me in Studio, which is why I haven’t been able to make progress on my game… since May 1st.
The only solution I found was to format, since I tested a Windows from a USB and it worked again (I did it with Windows 10, I hope it works the same for 11), so I’ll start formatting Windows… I wanted to avoid it, but since there’s no sign that they’ve found the error, it’s better to move forward however possible

Edit:
Confirmed, I have completely reinstalled Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.3775, and now it works again

[16Majestic (zn3n)]

doesn’t work lol, robloxplayerbeta doesn’t even start.

[Jezzie_Dev (Jezzie)]

Aw man, sorry it’s not working for you. It always works for me after each client update. Fingers crossed that this issue gets fixed too!
