When you are getting a Roblox error code 403, force close the game and relaunch it again.

Sometimes this simple trick can fix the problem.

If, due to any temporary bugs and errors, you are getting the authentication error, force closing the game and restarting it can work.

Here are the steps to do so:

• Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc to open Windows Task Manager or you can right-click on the Windows Start box & select Task Manager from the options.
• Go to the Processes tab and find all the processes related to Roblox.
• Right-click on each Roblox process & click on the End task option.

2) Clear Local App Data

Corrupted Roblox app data can also restrict you from getting to the desired page and show you Roblox authentication error code 403.

So, clear the local app cache and check if this can fix the error. Here are the steps to do so:

• Press Windows + R keys to launch Run utility.
• Copy and paste the following command in the Run command box and hit Enter:

%localappdata%

• Locate the Roblox folder and right-click on it. Click on delete.

• Once you delete the Roblox app cache folder, close the windows.
• Now relaunch your Roblox game. If you are prompted for application access permission, click on the dedicated download & install button.
• Let the installation get completed. Click on Play to check if the game is now playing properly.
• If prompted, click on the Open Roblox button. If the game does not open smoothly, change DNS.

3) Change The DNS

If your IP address got blocked or banned, then also you can get Roblox error 403.

To fix it, switch to Google DNS. Here is how to do that:

• Press Windows + I keys and select Windows Settings. Next, choose Network & Internet.
  
• Under the Advanced Network Settings section, select Change Adapter Options.

• Right-click on your Network Connection and expand its Properties.

• Scroll down the items in the ‘This connection uses the following items’ section, & then select Internet Protocol Version 4 [TCP/IPv4]. Open the Properties.

• Next, set the Preferred DNS Server address to 8.8.8.8. Next, change the Alternate DNS Server address to 8.8.4.4.

• To save the changes, click on OK.

4) Run SFC Scan

Missing or corrupted system files can also trigger Roblox authentication error 403.

So, run a System File Checker scan and see if this can fix the error. Follow these steps to run the scan:

• Type CMD in the Search menu. Choose to run the Command Prompt as an administrator.

• Copy & paste this command in the elevated Command Prompt window & press the Enter key:

sfc /scannow

Let Windows check through all the system files and repair those.

Wait for that period, and then relaunch the Roblox game. If the error code reappears, disable Firewall or antivirus.

5) Disable Firewall Temporarily

The Firewall or antivirus you are using can also interfere with Roblox and cause the authentication error 403.

So, disable Windows Firewall or antivirus temporarily and see if this works.

To do that, follow these steps:

• Go to the Windows Search Menu and type Windows Defender Firewall. Choose the topmost option.
• From the next window, select Turn Windows Defender Firewall on or off option.

• Click on the radio buttons for both Private network settings & Public network settings to Turn off Windows Defender Firewall (not recommended).

• This should open the Avast menu. Click on Avast shields control.
• From the side menu, will open select how long you want to keep the Avast shields disabled.
