  1. Microsoft store keeps asking me to search for another app to use Roblox


    A few days ago I tried playing Roblox but when I pressed play, Microsoft Store asked me to look for another app to launch Roblox. So I searched up Roblox in Microsoft Store and selected it but it just kept loading for a really long time. Then I tried deleting and redownloading Roblox from the website but that didn't work either. The message still kept showing. Then I just tried using the desktop app version of Roblox and it worked fine for a bit but it would keep crashing if I played for over 15-20 minutes.

    :)

    Roblox from Microsoft Store error

    Dear Fran,



    I'm glad to see you in Microsoft Community.



    May I ask if by update you mean a system update or a Roblox app update? I can understand that it must be a difficult situation for you when things don't work as expected. However, let's follow these methods and check if they work.



    1. Microsoft Store Cache Cleanup

    • Right-click the Start icon and select "Windows Terminal (Administrator)" -> Enter: wsreset.exe

    2.Reset Microsoft Store

    • Open "Settings" -> Applications -> Applications and Features -> Find "Microsoft Stroe", select -> "Advanced Options" and reset

    3. Uninstall and reinstall Roblox

    • Download it on the internet and use roblox from your browser and try to see if the problem persists.
    • You need to uninstall roblox in the application settings (Settings -> Apps -> Apps & features -> find the roblox app inside the right input box and click uninstall), then click on the link here, click on the game and it will ask you to install roblox.

  3. Roblox On the Microsoft Store

    Hey there, Player101par

    Welcome to the Microsoft Community forums.

    It looks as though the App packages for Roblox may still be on your device, which is why it is not installing.

    Please can you:

    • Press Win key & R together,
    • Type: wsreset
    • Press enter
    Then try again at launching Windows store and downloading Roblox.

    Hope this helps,

    Regards,

    Roblox keeps crashing

    So I downloaded roblox on Microsoft Store and launched it. But when it said checking for updates, it crashed immediately. Other apps work fine, except roblox. Any suggestions on how to fix it?
