Fix Roblox Studio Crashing on Windows

Answer
Restart Windows, update Roblox Studio, close conflicting software, check firewall access, and reinstall Studio from Roblox if its local files are corrupted.
Prepare the correct account, device, files, and recovery path
Confirm the official Roblox Studio installation, active account, experience ownership or edit permission, current saved place, and exact asset, login, collaboration, or crash symptom before making changes. Save or publish a recoverable version and test in a copy. Do not use executors, modified clients, copied session cookies, untrusted assets, or scripts that bypass Creator Hub permissions and moderation.
Record when Studio crashes
Note whether it fails at launch, when opening one place, or during playtest. Check Roblox service status before changing the PC.
Restart and update
Restart Windows, launch Studio, and install any offered update. Roblox recommends keeping Studio current.
Test a different project
Open a blank template. If only one place crashes, preserve a copy and inspect recent assets, plug-ins, or scripts rather than reinstalling everything.
Check security software
Make sure the firewall is not blocking Roblox Studio. Do not disable protection permanently; add an exception only for the signed Roblox executable.
Reinstall from Roblox
Uninstall Studio, restart, and download it again from Roblox Creator Hub. Send logs from %LOCALAPPDATA%\Roblox\logs to Roblox Support if crashes continue.
Verify the result before making broader changes
Repeat the exact task described in “Fix Roblox Studio Crashing on Windows” and confirm the intended account, device, file, app, or service now behaves as described in the Answer. Check any changed setting again after one restart or fresh session where appropriate, and preserve the original data until the result is stable. If only one app, account, network, or file remains affected, keep the next recovery step limited to that scope.

If it does not work
- If Studio still crashes, preserve logs and a project copy and test a blank experience. Use Roblox support before deleting projects, plug-ins, or account data.
