What to do if Roblox app won’t update

In case you’re having trouble updating the Roblox app, it’s possible that there are problems with your internet connection, firewall, or temp files:

Unstable internet connection

Consider restarting your router if you think the problem with your Roblox app stems from a poor internet connection. You might as well try updating your Roblox at a different time when you get the strongest internal signal in your home.

Firewall restrictions

In some cases, antivirus programs like Windows Security contain a firewall setting that hinders Roblox from working properly. Try accessing your PC’s firewall settings and adding Roblox to its list of allowed apps.

Corrupted temp files

Delete any corrupted temporary Roblox file by going to C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Temp and get rid of anything that starts with “RBX-“ before reinstalling the Roblox app or reopening Roblox on your browser.

Contacting Roblox Support

If all the ways we mentioned fail, you can reach out to the Roblox team with theirsupport page. Depending on their availability, you can eventually get a response and find a method that fixes the issue you have with your app.
