Причина 1: Блокировка встроенной защитой
Наиболее распространенная причина, из-за которой не запускается Roblox, — это блокировка встроенной защитой Microsoft Defender. Вероятно, антивирус определяет подключение к серверам игры как подозрительное или потенциально опасное, поэтому ограничивает работу софта. Попробуйте приостановить работу брандмауэра, чтобы проверить, в этом ли дело. Делается это несколькими способами – помимо настроек соответствующего раздела в системных «Параметрах», также есть возможность деактивировать защиту, отредактировав реестр или используя специализированную утилиту. Об этом более детально рассказано в нашем отдельном материале.

Если причина заключалась действительно в этом, то лучше не держать средство защиты выключенным, поскольку оно обеспечивает безопасность системы. Рекомендуем добавить исполняемый файл Roblox в список исключений. Тогда Microsoft Defender не будет сканировать файл и контролировать действия, выполняемые игрой. Ранее мы уже писали о том, как создать исключения, в развернутом руководстве на нашем сайте.
Подробнее: Создание исключений в Защитнике Windows 11
Причина 2: Нестабильное интернет-подключение
Для игры в Roblox требуется стабильное интернет-подключение. Как известно, доступ в сеть по Wi-Fi имеет довольно низкую пропускную способность, вдобавок к этому другие подключенные устройства могут расходовать трафик и препятствовать быстрому взаимодействию с серверами игры, поэтому попытайтесь подключиться через более стабильное проводное соединение, если есть такая возможность.
Если с Wi-Fi-сетью в Windows 11 возникли проблемы, например нет стабильного подключения ни через какие-либо другие программы, требующие выхода в интернет, то стоит проверить как работоспособность маршрутизатора, так и корректность настроек системы. Переходите по ссылке ниже, чтобы узнать о наиболее распространенных причинах возникновения проблем и способы их решения.

Причина 3: Наличие сторонних антивирусов/прокси-сервера
Также препятствовать работе платформы могут и сторонние антивирусные программы, которые вы отдельно могли установить на компьютер. В этом случае также могут происходить сбои при попытке подключиться к серверу Roblox. Приостановите работу антивируса от стороннего разработчика и проверьте, повлияло ли это на рассматриваемую неполадку. В отдельной статье мы разбирали алгоритм действий на примере наиболее популярных антивирусных продуктов.
Подробнее: Отключение антивируса
Если дело действительно в нем, то можете либо полностью удалить софт с компьютера и перейти на встроенного Защитника или аналогичную программу, либо добавить исполняемый файл игры в список исключения, если это возможно.
Подробнее:
Удаление антивируса с компьютера
Добавление программы в исключения антивируса
То же касается и прокси-сервера – из-за того, что он активен на компьютере, также могут возникать различные проблемы с подключением к серверу игры. Выключите его с помощью встроенных функций:
- Нажмите на кнопку «Пуск» и запустите приложение «Параметры».
- На левой панели нажмите на вкладку «Сеть и Интернет», а в центральной части окна выберите строку «Прокси-сервер».
- В блоке «Настройка прокси вручную» нажмите на кнопку «Изменить».
- Затем выключите функцию с помощью переключателя.
Причина 4: Устаревшая версия графического адаптера
Еще одной из причин невозможности запустить Roblox бывает устаревшая версия используемого графического адаптера. Иногда даже с помощью стандартных средств не удается установить корректное программное обеспечение, в особенности это касается дискретных видеокарт. Ранее мы уже писали о способах обновления драйверов.
Подробнее: Обновление драйвера видеокарты в Windows 11
Причина 5: Неправильная установка/поврежденные файлы игры
Во время установки игры могли произойти сбои, отчего файлы могли повредиться. Еще такое не исключено и вследствие различных ошибок, которые происходят во время использования системы, а также из-за вирусной деятельности. В этом случае может помочь переустановка Roblox.
Если вы ранее устанавливали игру с помощью инсталляционного файла, то попробуйте стереть ее, затем добавить из магазина Microsoft Store, и наоборот.
Также на официальном сайте разработчика должны быть более ранние версии Roblox. Вероятно, у какой-то из них получится корректно запуститься в вашей системе.
Подробнее: Как установить Roblox на компьютер
Причина 6: Проблема с игровым сервером
Поскольку Roblox – это онлайн-игра, то не исключены проблемы и с самим сервером. В этом случае ничего не остается, кроме как дождаться, пока неполадки будут исправлены.
Более детальная информация о сбоях на сервере, как правило, указывается на официальном сайте разработчика, на различных тематических ресурсах или в сообществах в социальных сетях. Можете проверить, так ли это, посетив упомянутые интернет-площадки.
Дополнительные способы решения проблемы
Если рассмотренные способы решения проблемы не помогли, то предлагаем несколько дополнительных вариантов.
Способ 1: Удаление данных в кеше
Иногда срабатывает удаление временных данных игры, которые хранятся в кеше и могут вызвать различные конфликты в программном обеспечении. Стираются они следующим образом:
- Запустите диалоговое окно «Выполнить», одновременно нажав на клавиши «Win + R». В текстовом поле введите адрес папки, где хранятся временные данные, —
%temp%\Robloxи нажмите на кнопку «ОК» для быстрого перехода. - Отобразится окно «Проводника» с различными данными. Выделите все содержимое, одновременно нажав на клавиши «Ctrl + A», и удалите, нажав на клавишу «Delete». Подтвердите действие, если это потребуется.
После этого выйдите и снова зайдите в учетную запись Roblox, а затем проверить, исчезла ли проблема.
Способ 2: Изменение настроек совместимости
Еще одним методом решения неполадки может стать изменение настроек совместимости. Делается это через «Свойства» ярлыка игры или ее исполняемого файла:
- Нажмите на иконке Roblox правой кнопкой мыши и из контекстного меню выберите пункт «Свойства».
- Перейдите на вкладку «Совместимость», затем отметьте пункт «Запустить программу в режиме совместимости с:» и из выпадающего меню выберите «Windows 7».
- Также можете поставить флажок у опции «Запускать эту программу от имени администратора».
- Нажмите на кнопку «ОК», чтобы применить настройки.
После этого проверьте, запускается ли Roblox на компьютере с Windows 11.

Roblox not launching on Windows 11 can be frustrating, but it’s usually easy to fix. Follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue. You’ll need to check your system requirements, update your software, clear your cache, and possibly reinstall Roblox. Here’s a quick guide on how to do it.
We’ll cover a series of steps designed to get Roblox up and running on your Windows 11 computer. Each step addresses a specific potential issue, so following them methodically should help you figure out and fix the problem.
Step 1: Check System Requirements
Make sure your computer meets the minimum system requirements for running Roblox.
Before you dive into technical solutions, it’s always a good idea to ensure your system can handle Roblox. Check the official Roblox website for the latest system requirements.
Step 2: Update Windows
Ensure your Windows 11 is up to date by checking for updates.
Keeping your operating system updated is crucial. Outdated software can cause compatibility issues, so head to Settings > Update & Security and click ‘Check for updates.’
Step 3: Update Graphics Drivers
Update your graphics card drivers to their latest version.
Graphics drivers are vital for running games smoothly. Visit the website of your graphics card manufacturer—like Nvidia or AMD—and download the latest drivers.
Step 4: Clear Roblox Cache
Clear the Roblox cache to eliminate corrupted files that may be causing the issue.
Corrupted cache files can prevent Roblox from launching. Navigate to C:Users[YourUsername]AppDataLocal and delete the Roblox folder.
Step 5: Disable Compatibility Mode
Make sure Roblox is not set to run in Compatibility Mode.
Right-click the Roblox shortcut, select ‘Properties,’ and go to the ‘Compatibility’ tab. Ensure that the ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ option is unchecked.
Step 6: Reinstall Roblox
Uninstall and then reinstall Roblox to ensure you have the latest, uncorrupted version.
If all else fails, uninstall Roblox from the Control Panel, then download and reinstall it from the official website.
After completing these steps, Roblox should launch without issue, allowing you to dive back into your games and creations.
