If you have the latest graphics driver, it is possible that there are some third-party applications installed on your Windows, preventing Roblox from running. In this case, you can try performing a clean boot on your Windows to determine which application is interfering.
1. Update the Graphics driver
Since crashing or freezing issues are usually caused by outdated or faulty graphics drivers, we will start with updating them. Updating the graphics driver to the latest version will help you to utilize the graphics card to its full potential. It also helps fix crashing issues or other issues where the Windows shows Blue Screen Of Death errors. Hence, it is important to keep drivers up-to-date. To update the graphics drivers:
2. Disable Full Screen Optimization
Full-screen optimization is a feature in Windows that optimizes the application that takes over the whole screen. When this feature is enabled, your game will run at the best graphics settings possible. However, since Roblox has its own optimization, Full Screen Optimization can conflict with Roblox optimization, resulting in crashing issues. Hence, try disabling the full-screen optimization feature to see whether the issue is fixed or not. To disable Full-Screen Optimization:
3. Run Roblox As an Administrator
If you have not tried running Roblox with administrator permissions yet, try running it because running a program with administrator privileges will have access to all the DLL files and other resources required to run the program properly. Moreover, it also helps bypass the Windows Firewall, which can interfere by blocking the program exe file if it takes too many resources to run the program.
4. Run Roblox with compatibility Settings
Compatibility Settings allows users to run a program with the old versions of Windows, like 7, 8, and more. When the current compatibility settings are incompatible, meaning if the application is behaving unexpectedly, like freezing or crashing, changing the compatibility settings can fix these issues. To configure the compatibility settings:
5. Clear Roblox Cache
Having corrupted cache files often causes the application to malfunction because they are created by the application to reduce loading time or increase the User Experience (UI). Cache files are the temporary files that contain the data that users frequently visit or access. Therefore, if they are corrupted, it can result in crashing or freezing. To clear the Roblox Cache:
6. Perform a Clean boot
It is possible that Roblox is crashing due to interference from third-party programs and services. If you have third-party programs installed on your Windows, it is possible one of your third-party programs is interfering and causing ROBLOX to crash. To fix this, perform a clean boot to determine which program or service is causing issues. Moreover, if you have many background applications running, it is possible that your RAM is running out of memory, which results in crashing. Hence, make sure to close all unnecessary background applications to reduce RAM usage. To perform a clean boot:
7. Use Microsoft Roblox Version
Using the Microsoft Roblox version instead of a desktop version has helped most affected users. Microsoft Roblox version is similar to the desktop version. Hence, we also recommend you try a Microsoft Roblox version. But before that, make sure to completely uninstall Roblox first, as it might cause issues in the future.
