Fix 1: Restart your PC
A restart of your computer is the first and easiest thing you should try. Many gamers have reported being able to launch Roblox after restarting their PCs, so it’s worth a go.
If rebooting your computer does not solve the problem, move on to the next step.
Fix 2: Check your browser
When you select a game on Roblox’s website and click to play, a pop-up window should appear, allowing you to launch the Roblox app. If the pop-up window does not appear in your browser or does not allow Roblox to launch with your permission, try using another browser.
Also, check if your browser is up-to-date. If it isn’t already updated, do so and then test the problem. Some players have reported that clear the browser’s cache allows them to load Roblox, so it’s worth a go.
If your browser doesn’t appear to be the source of the Roblox not starting issue, proceed to the next step.
Fix 3: Reset your Internet options
The actions following must be completed in Internet Explorer, but they have been shown to work in other browsers as well. To reset your Internet Explorer options, follow these steps:
1. Start Internet Explorer. If it isn’t on your desktop, use the Start menu or the search box next to the Start button to look for it.
2. Select Internet Options from the gear-shaped icon in the top-right corner.
3. Move to the Advanced tab, tap Reset then.
4. Select Delete personal settings, then tap Reset.
5. To make the modifications take effect, restart your computer.
You may now continue to test the issue in your preferred browser and use it. If this doesn’t work, move on to the next step.
