Roblox Stuck on "Starting Roblox" or "Connecting to Roblox"
If Roblox never moves past "Starting Roblox" or "Connecting to Roblox", something is blocking the client from fully launching.
Main Causes
- Corrupted cache or installer files.
- Network filters, VPNs, or proxies.
- Overlays or injectors interfering at launch.
Step-by-Step Fix
- Clear cache in:
%localappdata%\Roblox
- Reset DNS & Winsock using Command Prompt (Admin):
ipconfig /flushdns
netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
- Turn off VPN and Proxy in Windows network settings.
- Disable overlays (Discord, GeForce, Xbox Game Bar).
- Reinstall Roblox using a fresh installer from the official website.
If it still hangs, create a new Windows user account and test there β if Roblox works, your old profile has corrupted settings.
