Windows 10 Roblox problem

Hi Auras,

There are several reasons as to why you can't play Roblox on your computer. Windows Updates may affect the game not to play if your computer is not updated. To make sure that your Windows 10 is up to date, I suggest that you check for any Windows Update
by using this link as your guide.

In addition, make sure that Roblox is allowed to run on your Chrome by performing the following steps:

• Download Roblox and run its setup file.
• After the game has been installed, try to run it.
• You should get a message box saying “External Protocol Request”. Check
  Remember my choice for all links of this type and click Launch Application.

If the issue persists, I suggest that you use another web browser on your computer to check if that helps.

Do get back to us with the results. We'd be more than willing to provide you additional help.

 

Microsoft store Roblox mouse glitch

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

The mouse lag issue you're experiencing with Roblox on your Windows gaming laptop can be caused by various factors. Here are some steps to help you troubleshoot and potentially resolve the problem:

1. Update Graphics Drivers:
   
   • Outdated or incompatible graphics drivers can lead to performance issues. Visit the website of your laptop's GPU manufacturer (e.g., NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) and download the latest drivers. Install them and restart your laptop.
     
2. Update Roblox:
   
   • Ensure you have the latest version of Roblox installed from the Microsoft Store. Sometimes, updating the game can resolve performance issues.
     
3. Adjust Roblox Settings:
   
   • Within the Roblox game, adjust the graphics settings to lower levels. Lowering settings like graphics quality, texture quality, and rendering distance can improve performance.
     
4. Check Mouse Settings:
   
   • Ensure your mouse settings are configured correctly in Windows. Go to "Settings" > "Devices" > "Mouse" and check the mouse sensitivity and other settings.
     
5. Check for Background Processes:
   
   • Make sure there are no background processes or applications consuming too much CPU or memory while playing Roblox. Use Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc) to monitor and close unnecessary processes.
     
6. Disable V-Sync:
   
   • In some cases, disabling V-Sync (vertical sync) within the Roblox settings can improve mouse responsiveness. Experiment with turning V-Sync on and off to see if it makes a difference.
     
7. Check for System Resource Issues:
   
   • Ensure your laptop is not overheating, as overheating can lead to performance problems. Clean the laptop's cooling system and make sure it's running efficiently.
     
8. Try a Different Mouse:
   
   • Test the game with a different external mouse to rule out any hardware-related issues with your current mouse.
     
9. Check for Other Software Conflicts:
   
   • Some third-party software or utilities running in the background can interfere with game performance. Try closing background applications one by one to identify any conflicts.
     
10. Reinstall Roblox:
    
    • If the issue persists, you may want to uninstall Roblox from the Microsoft Store and then reinstall it. This can sometimes resolve software-related problems.
      

Remember to test your mouse with other applications to ensure that the issue is specific to Roblox and not a general problem with your mouse or system. Additionally, keep your operating system and all drivers up to date to ensure optimal compatibility with games and software.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates. Thanks.

Best regards
