Roblox Player will not start

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    To open the Roblox Player!

  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    The splash screen appears, stating “Loading Roblox…” and then disappears. Clicking ‘Play’ on a game from the website will do the same, however after about ~10 minutes the game loads as a background process. There is no window, but I can hear the audio from the game and it appears as a background process in Task Manager.

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    Uninstalling problematic software such as MSI Afterburner, running as admin, disabling fullscreen optimisations, running as windows 8/7, reinstalling, restarting my computer, waiting for weeks, deleting caches and temporary files, literally everything I could.

The ONLY way I can get Roblox to start is through using the Microsoft Store version, which I am not happy with.
It is also worth pointing out that Roblox Studio has been quite buggy as well - only launching when I select the option to run it as Windows 8 in the ‘Compatibility’ tab.
