Important Notes When Starting Roblox
Changing Your Name Costs Money
In Roblox, it costs money to change your username. When choosing a name during sign-up, pick one you can use for a long time.
Display Name Can Be Changed Once Every 7 Days
Changing your username costs money, but your display name can be changed for free. However, note that it can only be changed once every 7 days.
Game Creation is PC Only
If you want to create games, you need to download "Roblox Studio." Note that Roblox Studio can only be used on PC.
Set Up Privacy Settings
If you are concerned, apply restrictions through privacy settings. Enabling "Account Restrictions" will lock communication settings, preventing you from chatting with others.
Parental Controls Are Also Available
If you have young children, set up parental controls. You can restrict which virtual spaces your child can access. Also, by enabling a parent PIN, you can lock the settings. The parent PIN will be required to unlock them.
Check Specs if PC is Slow or Not Working
If you feel that Roblox is running slow or your PC stops working while playing, check the recommended specs. If your PC doesn't meet the requirements for Roblox or if your storage is full, you won't be able to play Roblox comfortably.
What to Do If You Can't Open the App?
Check PC Specs and Internet Connection
If you can't open the Roblox app, check the specs of the PC where the app is installed. If your PC's performance is below the recommended specs, it's highly likely that the app will run slowly or won't open.

Recommended Settings When Installing Roblox
Register Your Email Address
Registering your email address allows you to reset your password if you forget it. Being able to reset your password means you won't have to create a new account, increasing the chances of continuing to play without losing your data.
Change Communication Settings
Roblox allows you to finely tune communication settings like chat. If you want to interact with players from around the world in-game, allow messages from everyone. If you are concerned about interacting with unspecified players, limit it to "Friends" only, or turn everything "Off" to prevent interaction.
