Key Takeaways

• The error of an infinite install loop is the result of multiple factors including corrupted files, antivirus interference, incompatible installers, etc.
• There are effective solutions to deal with it, which include clearing the cache, reinstalling Roblox, checking firewall settings, etc.

Various Causes That Leads To Error Of Infinite Install Loop: 

The error of infinite install loop usually occurs when Roblox fails to install because of a firewall or third-party antivirus blocking its installer from making changes to the system. It can also be caused by a slow internet connection or Roblox servers that are offline. 

I hope these tips will help you out. If not, then contact the technical team of Roblox as soon as possible. They might know better and can suggest more useful tips to fix the issue. 

1. Faulty Internet Connection

One of the main causes of the Roblox infinite install loop is a faulty internet connection. A faulty internet connection can occur because of various reasons like a hampered router, bad network, etc. The faulty internet connection disrupts the link between Roblox and Roblox servers which causes the issue.

2. Roblox server issue

Another simple yet common cause of the Roblox infinite install loop is the Roblox server going down. This generally happens due to maintenance reasons. So, if you are trying to install Roblox when the Roblox servers are down, then you can face this infinite install loop issue.

3. Antivirus software

Antivirus software is a very useful tool to keep your device safe. But, it can sometimes block apps that may not be harmful due to some misapprehensions. So, the Roblox infinite install loop can occur when your device’s antivirus blocks the Roblox launcher.

4. Corrupted files

The final cause of the Roblox infinite install loop is corrupted cache files. Cache refers to static data stored in a device for a temporary period. With Roblox, when you try to install the app, some cache files get stored in your device. The files may get corrupted due to some reason which causes the issue.

All The Possible Solutions for Roblox Infinite Install Loop

If you know the causes, then half of your battle is won. Even though I know people who are aware of the causes of the error, they have no idea what to do next. Sometimes you need to try more than one thing; in that case, you need to know what things you should try. 

I have seen that network is a very disastrous issue in most of the Roblox errors. Network drivers are responsible for managing the connection between a Windows PC and a specific network. However, if these drivers are outdated or corrupted, it can lead to various problems with the network connection, even in the downloading process. There are also many things you need to focus on.

Let’s jump straight into the methodology to tackle this issue. I have here divided into some solutions, try them out.

1. Reset the Router

There are various reasons for faulty internet connection that may cause the Roblox infinite install loop. While you cannot do anything about any other reasons, you can fix the internet connection if the faulty connection is because of the router. You can reset the router by performing a few simple instructions:

1. Switch off your router.
2. For about a few minutes, unplug the power source of the router.
3. Plug the router cord into the power source and restart the router. 

This should fix the internet connection if the issue occurs due to the router. Move to the next step if the infinite install loop issue is happening due to other reasons. 

2. Deactivating Antivirus

Since your device’s antivirus software may be restricting Roblox from launching, it is necessary to deactivate it so that the Roblox infinite install loop issue is settled. So, to deactivate your device’s antivirus software, you need to open your device’s antivirus by clicking on the antivirus icon on the windows home screen. Then, select the disable/off option in the antivirus app.

After you are done deactivating the antivirus, restart your PC. If the cause of the issue is your antivirus software, this step should fix the issue. 

3. Close Windows Defender Firewall

Windows Defender Firewall is an inbuilt windows security system. The firewall acts like any third-party antivirus software and can restrict Roblox installation. So, you need to turn off Windows Defender Firewall too in your device. Follow these instructions to perform the step:

1. Go to the start button and search for “Windows Settings.” 
2. After opening Windows settings, move to the “Update and Security” tab
3. Choose “Windows Security” and go to “Virus & Threat Protection.”
4. Select “Manage Settings.”
5. Disable the Real-time Protection option and close the tab.

This should turn off the Windows Defender Firewall. Move to the next step if the issue still exists. 

4. Check the downloads setting in Chrome

You also need to make sure that Roblox is downloaded into the downloads tab to ensure that the Roblox infinite install loop issue is resolved. So, you need to follow these instructions:

1. Go to settings in the chrome browser by clicking on the three dots in the chrome home screen.
2. Select the “Advance” option.
3. Check if the location is set to downloads in the “Downloads” section. If yes, you don’t need to do anything. However, if it is not set to downloads, change the setting. 

5. Changing Configuration

Lastly, if none of the aforementioned steps are working, you need to perform this complicated step to fix the infinite install loop issue. In this step, you need to enter a code in Windows PowerShell to settle the issue. So, follow these instructions:

1. Uninstall Roblox and delete all files related to Roblox from your PC.
2. Download it again and start the installation process. However, cancel the process when it is about to be done.
3. Open Windows PowerShell (Admin) by right-clicking on the Windows logo. 
4. In the Command Window, enter this code: “Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”. 
5. Open Roblox and click on the play after closing the Windows tab.

This step should enable Roblox installation on your device. And you can start playing in Roblox.
