Close Roblox completely

Leave the experience and quit Roblox. On Windows, check the taskbar; on Mac, choose Roblox > Quit Roblox or press Command+Q.

Restart the computer

Save other work and restart Windows or macOS. This clears a stuck installer or Player process without deleting settings.

Update the browser-installed Player

Open Roblox.com, sign in, choose an experience, and select Play. Roblox Player checks its version and installs an available update before the experience opens.

Update the Microsoft Store version

Open Microsoft Store > Library > Get updates. Install the update for Roblox - Windows, which has a blue icon. The older gray-icon app named Roblox is not the current Store version.

Check the Mac prompt

On Mac, launching an experience from Roblox.com can open the Roblox installer or updater. Allow it to finish, then open the experience again.

Confirm the update worked

Join one trusted experience, open the Roblox menu, and check that controls load normally. There is no need to reinstall if Roblox launches and plays correctly.

Reinstall only if the update stays stuck

Use the official reinstall instructions for Windows or Mac. Restart after uninstalling, download Roblox again from Roblox.com, and avoid third-party installers.

If it does not work

  • If the update loops, check the computer's date and time, available storage, and whether a security tool blocked the Roblox installer.
  • If Roblox.com launches a different installed version than expected, uninstall the obsolete copy and keep one current installation route.
  • If an organization manages the computer, its administrator may need to allow the update; do not bypass device-management controls.
