There are a few different things that you can do if you’re hoping to get Roblox up and running correctly. The first thing you’ll want to do is verify that you do not have a VPN running. If you have downloaded a VPN on your PC, such as Windscribe, you will just need to turn it off before accessing Roblox again. Try and see if you can get in now, and if you can, disregard the following steps.

After this, give your PC a standard restart and try to log into Roblox once again. There is a chance that your computer was just running into a small bug, and this could fix it without having to go too in-depth within your PC’s files.

If you are still running into issues with Roblox and the Error 403 message, you may need to delete the files within the Roblox Folder of your PC. Thankfully, there is a very easy way to make this happen:

  • Right Click on any object and select Delete, or press the Delete Key on your keyboard
  • Restart your PC
  • Open Roblox again, and allow it to download any needed files

After doing this, you should be good to go once again to get into all sorts of fun times with your friends. While this error may not be common, knowing how to combat it if it does happen can be a lifesaver and a huge timesaver.
