thanks for the idea, ill open up wireshark rn and see if i see anything that would tell me whats going on.
i’ll try isolating the roblox app with split tunneling on mullvad vpn or something that should work i hope.

so i did this but i’m not rlly sure what im looking for rn, the most significant thing i found was a tcp connection reset, even if that was the issue i cant seem to find what is causing it through wireshark.

Sadly, Roblox probably has already though of this, and they don’t want you to know why you’re being blocked.
You should try looking at the outgoing packets for some kind of parameters that might be causing the issue.
have u tried running a “virtual machine”? (with the same account), or have you also tried using a different browser?
EDIT; nvm, i just saw that u have tried the following above, however we do NOT know what “protected user” means as seen in your post. it could literally mean anything, such as an under 13 account.
one thing my friend recommended me;
right click google chrome shortcut, press properties
find the “Goal” box
add --disable-web-security right after chrome.exe
this is HIGHLY not recommended since it lowers Browser Security, this is also not a Permanent fix.
use at your own risk

already tried this as seen here
this post is really hard for anyone to solve as almost every solution has been tried.
listen i know that you dont want to factory reset your PC but thats the only solution
my man your PC must be infected with some real viruses cuz im from Europe Poland and I can play roblox without any issues
this is not a server issue either cuz i can join games like jailbreak without any issues i can see friend status i can see everything
please triple check your PC there must be something tampering with roblox website locally on your PC
fun fact: i use “hacked” tiny 11 aka windows 11 version of windows and all works for me idk thats really super weird
edit: i just read this post a little bit and i realise you got 3tb worth of files so factory reset isnt really option there maybe play on windows VM instead?

most likely not because this started happening out of nowhere and i haven’t installed anything around that time. but yeah it probably is an app blocking roblox, and it has to be pretty hard to find because i clean booted my windows and it still didnt work.
i never really have many apps running in the background, the only ones i have 100% of the time are Logitech G hub, killer network service (turned it off to check wasnt the culprit either) and nvidia background processes.

In that case, you should definitely try running a live disk of some operating system and booting off of that and try Roblox.
If it works, we know for sure your OS is the culprit. If not, it might be something else.

I’ll try doing that when I get home
on safe mode windows, still not working???
if its not an app blocking roblox what the hell could it be.
theres no way windows is actively blocking roblox unless idk.
maybe roblox is blocking my pc? but why this way and not just terminate my acc or ban me. roblox works on all of my other devices on the same network just not my PC,
And no roblox doesnt work on any app, windows store app, roblox app, studio, etc.
Changing browsers doesnt work either.
I have turned my antivirus off to completely, windows AV included and its firewall, still not fixed.
ive tried using a phone hotspot/diff network, still not fixed.
roblox won’t respond to me at all so my only guess is that this is intentional by roblox and they have some reason to block me from roblox. if so this is the best ban ive ever seen because bypassing it is literally impossible, i’ve tried spoofing everything, MAC, HWID, and using vpns. The only thing that works is a VM and a different device.
factory reset is the “only” solution at this moment but that isn’t an option for me because of everything installed on my pc.
also just so this is clear
roblox is responding with a 404 on almost every api endpoint.
this is seen in the network tab on my browser.

Then there’s something wrong with your boot disk.

I think the real fix is to delete and reinstall roblox.
The thread has gone for over a month, so I don’t think that is the fix.

Solution…
Roblox now works no factory reset 
TL;DR
CLEAR THIS FILE IN NOTEPAD:
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
YOU HAVE TO RUN NOTEPAD AS ADMIN
