When i switched on google and then typed roblox to download, it said me that the application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005). click ok to close the application .I dont know how to fix it. Microsoft team please help me to download any game from its original site without an application error displaying on the screen but on a windows 7.

Hi there;

Do not listen to Vikki T.

If you look this up on google you will find resources which will help you run the game on Win7. Win7 is officially sunset; this does mean that they officially do not support it anymore. That said, there do exist alternative means to run the game on Win7, there are youtube videos and more than a few forums dedicated to it.

My only concern would be if you'd risk getting banned for using those methods. If you do use them, do so at your own risk and be aware that Roblox means to shut us out.

Have fun and see you on Roblox.

Hello DEADLIEST_GHOST,

I understand that you are receiving the error “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005)” when trying to download or launch Roblox on your PC, and I can see how inconvenient this is.

Based on the official Roblox system requirements, Roblox currently installs on 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11, and Windows 7 is not listed as a supported operating system for the Roblox PC application.

For your reference, I’m sharing the Roblox support page below. Please note that this is a third-party website and is not owned, maintained, or managed by Microsoft. Because of that, Microsoft cannot control the content, availability, or any changes made on that site: https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203312800-Computer-Hardware-Operating-System-Requireme…

If you would like to continue using Roblox on this device, the available direction would be to use a supported Windows version, such as Windows 10 64-bit or Windows 11 64-bit, provided that the PC hardware also meets the requirements. Roblox also requires higher feature level support and recommends at least 1 GB of memory and 300 MB of free storage space.

I hope this helps point you in the right direction. Thank you so much for your understanding.
