@notxsync So you are clicking on something in a external app that opens a page in Opera? Or should open at least.

@notxsync We can check your registry keys:

Install Notepad++. In it, goto settings -> Language and under Tab Settings, make sure "[Default]" has the tab size set to 4 and make sure "Replace by space" is checked. Then, for "registry", make sure "Use default value" is checked.

Then in Windows, hit Windows key + r to open the run dialog, type regedit and press enter to launch the registry editor.

Then, right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox" in the left-hand pane, choose "export" and save it as roblox.reg.

Then, right-click on that reg file and choose "Edit with Notepad++". One loaded, hit ctrl + a to select everything, hit the tab key to indent the whole selection by 4 spaces, hit ctrl + c to copy the selection and paste it here in a reply. Then, close the reg file in Notepad++ without saving your changes.

Then, right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-player" and export it as robloxplayer.reg.

Then, right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-studio" and export it as robloxstudio.reg.

Then, right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ROBLOX Corporation" and export that as robloxcorp.reg

Then, do the indentation for those 3 reg files too and paste them here.

Then in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RegisteredApplications", right-click on roblox-player in the right-hand pane, choose "modify", then select and copy the value data and paste it here indented by 4 spaces. Then, click cancel in the modify dialog.

@burnout426 I don't understand, what do you mean by indented? I might as well just send the whole file here.

I don't have enough permission?

@notxsync Yeah, if you want to zip up all the reg files, upload the the zip file somewhere and link to the zip file here, that will be fine too.

To post code here on the forums, you can indent each line by 4 spaces (add 4 spaces to the beginning of each line). Was just giving you a way to indent all lines in each file at once with Notepad++. If uploading the files and linking to them is easier, that's fine. Whatever what you want.

Could you send these two?:

Right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-player" and export it as robloxplayer.reg.

Right-click on "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-studio" and export it as robloxstudio.reg.

@notxsync Got it.

Not sure if you not having "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-studio" is a problem or not

It looks like "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox" is missing the shell, open and command keys.

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\roblox-player" looks okay, but I did notice a difference with the command.

I installed Roblox (Windows 11 23H2) by going to https://www.roblox.com/download and choosing "Download Windows app". That installed Roblox just for the current user to "C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions\version-48a28da848b7420d". In your reg file, I see Roblox is installed for all users to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Roblox\Versions\version-510663c9d33e4fd8".

That should be okay, but that means we should check for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE versions of all those keys.

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\roblox-player"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\roblox-studio"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\roblox"
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\RegisteredApplications" (the roblox entry in the right-hand pane for it)
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ROBLOX Corporation"

And, look for those same keys under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node" too.
