What worked for my kids, is what Sheena said in the comments: Change "You can view and upload community content" to everyone."
I can't play roblox on my laptop due to privacy settings

Double Zed 5 Reputation points2025-10-05T16:49:00.77+00:00 I have the same exact issue since installing the new Roblox. I have "You can join multiplayer games" set to allow and I have always had it that way. My account is part of a Microsoft Family Group and as a matter of fact I am the parent unable to play, but my kid who has more restrictive settings is able to play Roblox without issues. The Xbox message i completely generic and contains no valuable information on which exact setting is preventing me from playing any Roblox experiences. Microsoft, could you please fix this?

Ben Powers 5 Reputation points2025-11-24T17:19:04.5966667+00:00 I had the same problem. All I did was uninstall it on the Microsoft Store and then reinstall it, and that ended up working for me.

Stara B 1,530 Reputation points Independent Advisor2025-10-03T23:40:00.9866667+00:00 Hi, the settings may not have saved properly or the account could still be recognized as a child account. Please sign in here https://account.xbox.com/Settings and make sure that "You can join multiplayer games" is set to allow. If your account is part of a Microsoft Family Group, a parent account may need to update these settings on your behalf. Make sure your date of birth on your Microsoft account is correct. Roblox requires you to be over 13 for certain features. After making changes, log out of Roblox and Xbox, then restart your laptop and sign back in.

Xaye Faerune 10 Reputation points2025-10-09T13:31:15.7666667+00:00 Hi, this did not help. I am not a part of a family plan or anything like that, and I have everything in my settings set to everyone or unfiltered, trying to fix this issue. I have even logged out of my Xbox and just tried to join Roblox, in which case it prompted me to log in to my Microsoft account, and still continued to block me. can you please tell me what is wrong, because if I need to delete my Xbox account from my laptop, I will.
