Question

Is Roblox virus-free?

XBizarre

Community Answer

Yes, many rumors have been going around about how Roblox is not virus-free, however there are no reported viruses you can get on your computer, tablet, etc. The only reason Roblox might slow down your computer is that it's taking up RAM and space.

Is there any way to speed up the installation process?

If you have anything else running on your computer that doesn't need to be on, you can turn those off to hopefully speed up the installation time.

Question

Is it possible to install and play ROBLOX on a Linux operating system?

Community Answer

You can install ROBLOX on a Linux OS by installing an emulator to run Windows applications on Linux. There are a lot of tutorials out there on how to do that so this can cause confusion for people who want to play ROBLOX but think they cannot.

Question

Why are there tags in Roblox?

FunTime FunWorldTM

Community Answer

Tags in Roblox are for safety reasons. There's sometimes young children that play the game, while 13-15-year-olds also play. Older kids may say something that younger kids shouldn't know about yet, or may use inappropriate language. To remove tags, you must email Roblox and tell them that you are 13-15 years old and ask them to remove tags. They will remove the tags and they shouldn't come up anymore. But you must be 13-15 in order to have tags removed.

Question

I try to run the file but it shows Microsoft Store to download the app. What can I do?

Kreg

Community Answer

You're either using Windows 10 Creators Update or Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Windows 10 Fall Creators Update required the .NET Framework 4.7 (at the time of this article, it's not required for Creators Update) so you need to go to the Windows Store website and download and install the .NET Framework 4.7 preview.
