Fresh Start with a Restart

Before diving into the more technical solutions, a simple restart of your PC can work wonders. This action can clear out any minor bugs or temporary glitches that might be causing Roblox to crash as soon as you try to play.

Granting Admin Access to Roblox

Sometimes, a recent update in Roblox might change how the game interacts with your computer. A quick fix can be to run Roblox as an "administrator" which grants it additional permissions. Here's how you do it:

Right-click on the Roblox launcher icon on your desktop or search for it in the start menu.
From the menu that appears, choose "Run as administrator."

Tackling Compatibility Issues

In case the admin trick doesn’t do the charm, your game might be facing compatibility issues with your Windows. Adjusting a few settings can help:

Right-click on the Roblox launcher and choose "Properties."
Go to the "Compatibility" tab.
Tick the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select "Windows 8" from the list.
Also, tick "Run this program as an administrator" again.
Click "Apply" and then "OK" to save these settings.

Now, try launching Roblox again and see if these steps have sent the crashing issues packing!
