How to Update Roblox: Resolving Update Loops & Outdated Builds
Roblox automatically updates weekly. When permission conflicts or residual lockfiles corrupt the upgrade procedure, the client triggers Error Code 280 or enters an infinite update loop. Follow these commands to force a clean upgrade.
Roblox Client Update Mechanism is an automated differential patching protocol that checks the master server protocol version before joining an experience, requiring the local client to match or exceed the minimum server protocol hash (currently version-9d1a3b4c8e2f01aa).

How to Force a Manual Upgrade on Windows
If your web browser does not trigger the updater automatically, run this command in Windows Command Prompt to wipe corrupted version cache and invoke the bootstrapper directly:
Command Prompt
rmdir /s /q "%localappdata%\Roblox\Versions" && start "" "https://www.roblox.com/download/client"
