7 Ways To Fix Roblox Not Working Issue [2021 Edition]

Every once in a while, players report that Roblox is not working for them. So here is a potential list of solution that explains why such problems occur and how to resolve them:

1. Restart The App Or PC

Sometimes simply restarting the Roblox app can fix the issue. You can do so via Task Manager. If this doesn’t help, restart your PC.

2. Server Issue

Quite often, the issue doesn't lie on your end; rather it's the game servers that are to be blamed because either Roblox servers are down or under maintenance.

For that you can check the official Status Page to find if Roblox is down. If everything is operational there, you should check on Down Dectector whether other people are also facing the same issue.

If it's indeed a server issue, there is nothing much you can do apart from waiting patiently to hear something on the company's social media account.

3. Check Firewall Settings

The firewall settings on your PC take precautionary measures to make sure it doesn't fall victim to malicious software. However, sometimes it can identify certain apps like Roblox as a threat and prevent them from gaining access to your network.

To solve this issue, you will have to grant necessary permissions to Roblox app to make it work again. You can do this by visiting Firewall programs on the Control Panel on your Windows PC. Next, check the Program Permissions menu and try locating Roblox on it. Then approve the internet access for the app and restart it.

4. Disable Antivirus

It's 2021, so you probably have an antivirus on your PC. Just like the Firewall settings, this antivirus software could be blocking Roblox on your device. A quick fix for such issues is disabling the antivirus while using Roblox.

You can also grant permissions in the antivirus software to whitelist the app so it never gets blocked again.

5. Check Security Settings On Browser

Every browser has Security Settings to keep you safe while browsing on the internet. If you access Roblox on the browser and it stops working, there are chances that the problem lies in its Security Settings — which is blocking it.

So, you need to make sure that settings are not set on High or that Roblox is within the browser's trusted site list. To change these settings you can visit Security Settings and adjust it accordingly.

6. Check Your Web Browser's Add-Ons

Smetimes Roblox does not work on the browser due to third-party Add-Ons, commonly knowns as Extensions or Plugins. So try disabling all of your extensions. If the issue resolves, try re-enabling them one at a time until the issue pops up again.

This will help you identify the one extension that is incompatible with Roblox. You will have to disable or remove this particular extension for using Roblox.

Here are some links that will guide you on how to do it on popular web browsers:
