Roblox Studio is marked as a Trojan by Windows Defender

Kicked me out of studio roughly 30 minutes ago, each launch had the same error as what you’ve experienced.

I tried to only whitelist Roblox from my Anti-Virus (I’m not gonna disable it completely lol) and after 5 minutes of being up, it consistently crashes. No warning or error log

Same problem as well. Perhaps this is a certified Byfron moment?

I thought I downloaded something sketchy XD

Looks like I’m not alone.

I have same issue, but you can just turn off “real time protection” from your settings and it will work perfectly, just wait until Roblox fix’s this bug.

Well, the problem is that we don’t want the trojan be a real problem, but just a windows mistake. But nice to know that works.

Hey @wish_z, could you close your Studio and re-open it (to force another update), and see if that resolves the issue for you? We just made some changes to try alleviate this.

i got a fresh win 11 yesterday installed studio yesterday after today update of studio instantly flagged and deleted doesn’t matter if fresh install again same result

how does update contain this ?

It does not contain that. This thread is about Windows Defender incorrectly flagging Studio as a virus.

Could you please close all instances of Studio and re-open it (should force an update, if you haven’t reopened Studio in last hour) and let us know if it still happens? Please take a screenshot if so and share here.

All clear now. Was afraid to open studio or disable Realtime due to reasons.

also not sure if it was the reason but i was using it a bit before on win 11 and errored on autosave and then it got flagged might have to do with it might not

This should no longer be happening with the update ~10 minutes ago. If you are still seeing this issue after updating, please let us know.
