To stop Roblox from opening on startup, disable its startup entry in Windows and turn off Roblox’s own launch setting if it has one. The quickest fix is usually to remove Roblox from startup apps, then check Roblox settings for any “launch at startup” option.

Windows startup

  1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Task Manager.
  2. Go to the Startup tab.
  3. Find Roblox or RobloxPlayerBeta.exe.
  4. Right-click it and choose Disable.

Roblox setting

  1. Open Roblox.
  2. Go to More or the menu.
  3. Open Settings.
  4. Look for Device Preferences.
  5. Turn off the option for launching at startup, if it’s there.

If it still opens

  • Open the Run dialog with Win + R.
  • Type shell:startup.
  • If Roblox is listed there, delete the shortcut.
  • Restart the PC and test again.

Why this works

Some systems launch Roblox from Windows startup, while others use Roblox’s own auto-launch preference. Checking both usually fixes the problem without affecting your account or game installs.
