Roblox Studio updating does not open place or .RBXL file on first attempt sometimes

Summary
After opening places or .RBXL files, Roblox Studio opens as it should. Sometimes, the application needs to update before opening. However, after the update is completed, instead of opening the place or file afterwards, Roblox Studio opens the default menu (as it acts when the application itself is launched by itself).

Reproduction Steps

  1. Edit a place via the website OR open .RBXL file
  2. Application update is needed and occurs, wait for this to finish

Expected Result
Roblox Studio should open the requested place or file after the update is finished.

Actual Result
Roblox Studio opens the default menu for the application.

Note 1: this issue has been occurring for as long as I can remember.

Note 2: Roblox Studio also likes to randomly add a shortcut to the Desktop every time.

This just happened again. It is a confirmed issue. Where’s the response from Roblox?

This is normal and has been a thing for a very long time… just update Roblox Studio and then open your place / file.

…so it’s a long-lasting bug that I’m reporting. I’ve been doing that already anyway as I have no choice. I’d like to not have to open my Roblox files twice to be able to access them.

Hello, I was wondering if there were any updates.

Since nothing has happened with this so far, I would like to add on by saying that this also applies to pressing the “EDIT IN STUDIO” button on the Creator Hub pages.

Not a bug, this was here since forever

Once again, doesn’t mean it’s not a bug. If every bug that lasted a while and wasn’t addressed was no longer bugs, then we’d be sitting with a whole lot of horrible “features” that plague our experience on Roblox.

This should be fixed! Anyone still having issues?

I wasn’t able to confirm for a while but now I am able to confirm. I edited a place via the website, application updated, and it still opened the place. Thanks!

This doesn’t seem to be the bug I reported. What is this about? I suggest reporting this as a separate bug.
