Roblox Studio won't open after recent update for Windows 11.

Keanin Roussel · Feb 24, 2025

Every time I try to load Roblox Studio, it ends up freezing in one of two ways (shown below). It isn't lag because I can still move my mouse around and do stuff, but it refuses to load. I tried reinstalling the app, restarting my laptop, reconnecting to the internet, and every attempt I've made to fix the issue was unsuccessful. If anyone has any information on how this could be fixed, please let me know as soon as you can. Thanks!

Hi， Keanin Roussel

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

According to your description, you recently updated the Windows system, and then your game Roblox cannot be loaded normally.

If possible, please try to delete this game, and then download it from the official website of the game to see if it can be loaded normally. If it still doesn't work, you can try to delete the Windows update to see if it is caused by the Windows update:

oh, okay! Thank you but, do you know why Roblox used to work before I downloading it on Windows 10?

While some games can be run on ARM CPU's, a recent update added an anti-cheat software called Byfron to the Roblox UWP (Universal Windows Platform) application. The game no longer works because this Anti-cheat software does not support ARM CPU's yet.

Due to this update, it won't work in Windows 10 either.
