How to Fix Roblox Not Launching And Closes Instantly in Microsoft Store

Introduction

If you're having trouble launching Roblox from the Microsoft Store and it closes unexpectedly, you're not alone. This tutorial will guide you through four effective methods to troubleshoot and fix this issue. Whether it's a server-related problem or an app glitch, these steps will help you get back to gaming smoothly.

Step 1: Check Roblox Server Status

Before diving into more complex solutions, it's essential to verify that the issue isn't due to Roblox's servers being down.

• Visit the Roblox server status page: Roblox Server Status
• Look for any ongoing issues or outages reported on the site.
• If the servers are down, you will need to wait until they are back online.

Step 2: Repair or Reset the Roblox App

If the server is functioning correctly, the next step is to repair or reset the Roblox application.

• Open Settings on your Windows device.
• Navigate to Apps and locate Roblox in the list.
• Click on Roblox, then select Advanced options.
• Choose either Repair or Reset:
  • Repair: This option attempts to fix the app without affecting your data.
  • Reset: This will delete all data associated with the app, so use this if the repair doesn’t work.

Step 3: Uninstall and Reinstall Roblox

If the previous steps didn't resolve the issue, uninstalling and reinstalling Roblox might be the answer.

• Open the Microsoft Store.
• Go to My Library and find Roblox.
• Click on Uninstall.
• Once uninstalled, search for Roblox in the Microsoft Store and click Install to reinstall the app.

Step 4: Uninstall and Reinstall Microsoft Store

As a last resort, if none of the above methods worked, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the Microsoft Store itself.

Uninstall Microsoft Store

Open PowerShell with administrator privileges:

1. Search for PowerShell in the Start menu.
2. Right-click and select Run as administrator.
3. Enter the following command and press Enter:

   Get-AppxPackage *windowsstore* | Remove-AppxPackage
   

Reinstall Microsoft Store

After uninstalling, you can reinstall the Microsoft Store:

1. In the same PowerShell window, enter the following command:

   Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
   

2. Press Enter and wait for the process to complete.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you should be able to troubleshoot and resolve the issues with Roblox not launching from the Microsoft Store. Start by checking the server status, then proceed to repair or reset the app, uninstall and reinstall it, and finally, if necessary, uninstall and reinstall the Microsoft Store.
