Before we jump into the solutions, it is always recommended to start by restarting the computer and the router. Restarting the computer eliminates the temporary bugs causing the issue. Restarting the router can clear out the network-related issues that might be causing this error. Once you have restarted the PC and the router, move on to the following methods to fix this error.
1. Check the server status
Since this error can be caused by a problem with the network connection, it is recommended to check the Roblox server status before making any changes to the computer. To check the server status, head to the status.roblox.com to see whether the server is up or not. If it is up, apply the following methods to fix this issue.
2. Use the Google DNS server
DNS or Domain Name System is used to translate the domain names into IP addresses to connect the users to the website or the server. By default, Windows uses the default DNS settings, which sometimes causes network errors when the DNS server does not work properly. Therefore, in this step, we will try using the Google DNS server as it is faster, more secure, and more reliable. To use the Google DNS server, follow the steps:
3. Run Roblox as an administrator
Roblox might not have the permissions to access the redistributable files required to launch the Roblox. In this case, we recommend configuring the Roblox to always run with the administrator to avoid the permission issue. To do so, follow the steps:
4. Disable the third-party antivirus software
In some cases, the antivirus software prevents the Roblox from launching correctly. This is because Roblox consumes a significant amount of system resources. This is especially true if the Roblox is running on an iGPU, so to prevent the consumption, third-party antivirus software blocks the executable file of the program to prevent it from running or launching on the system. To ensure that whether the antivirus is causing the error or not, you will have to disable the third-party antivirus software temporarily. Follow the steps to do so:
5. Reset network settings
If you are still facing this issue, try resetting the network settings. Resetting the network settings will undo all network settings configured by you. So, if this error is occurring due to misconfigured network settings, resetting them to default will fix it. To do so, follow the steps:
6. Use a Microsoft Store version
Roblox also has a Microsoft Store version, just like a client version. It is the same as the client version. So, if the error is not fixed after trying out the above methods, it is not necessary to use the Roblox version, as you can download the Microsoft Store version. Therefore, install Roblox from the Microsoft Store to avoid this error. Follow the steps to download the Roblox from Microsoft Store:
7. Reinstall Roblox
In case nothing works for you and you are still facing the same error continuously, try reinstalling the Robkox because it is possible that you have corruption in the Roblox application files, preventing it from launching. To ensure whether the corrupted files are causing the error or not, you will have to reinstall Roblox. For that, follow the steps:
