While i know this is about a completely different app not related to Windows itself, with how the "visual indicator" appears normally on any other device but it doesnt appear at my PC specifically, this definetly is an issue with my windows 10 PC than anything else. The "visual indicator" in the game isn't locked behind some sort of condition in the game itself, the game hasn't been updated recently and neither was a this an old issue that has been reported long ago, nothing appears wrong when the dev console opens ingame, and everything else in the game seems fine. I'm fairly sure this happened when the game suddenly started to stutter a lot for a bit until it came back "normal" but without the visual indicator. The game is fully client-sided too so internet couldnt be the issue here either. I've already tried deleting temp files, uninstalling and reinstalling Roblox, and updating my drivers.

Please send help, literally nobody has this exact problem besides me.

    Hello SomeRandomStranger, 

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A Forum! 

    It sounds like you're experiencing an issue where a visual indicator in a Roblox game does not appear on your Windows 10 PC, but it displays correctly on other devices. I understand this must be frustrating, and I'm here to help you resolve this.

    Based on your description, this appears to be a graphics rendering pipeline corruption issue specific to your Windows 10 system. The key indicators are: 

    • Device-specific rendering failure - Works on other devices but not your PC 
    • Correlation with stuttering event - Graphics pipeline disruption 
    • Selective element missing - Partial rendering failure, not total graphics failure 
    • Client-side only issue - No network/server involvement 

    Here is a step-by-step solution to troubleshoot this error, please kindly follow: 

    Step 1: Fully Reset Roblox Local Data 

    Roblox stores persistent data in %localappdata%. A full reset may help: 

    • Press Win + R, type %localappdata%, and press Enter. 
    • Locate the Roblox folder and delete it entirely. 
    • Reinstall Roblox from the official site. 

    Step 2: Reset Graphics Settings 

    If you use NVIDIA or AMD: 

    • Open the control panel (NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Radeon Settings). 
    • Restore all 3D settings to default. 
    • Disable any overrides like anti-aliasing, anisotropic filtering, or shader cache. 

    Step 3: Force Roblox to Use Integrated Graphics (if available) 

    Sometimes discrete GPUs cause rendering issues: 

    • Go to Settings > System > Display > Graphics Settings. 
    • Add RobloxPlayerBeta.exe and set it to use Power Saving (usually integrated GPU). 
    • Restart and test. 

    Step 4: Run Roblox in Compatibility Mode 

    • Right-click RobloxPlayerBeta.exe > Properties > Compatibility. 
    • Check "Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8". 
    • Also check "Disable fullscreen optimizations". 

    Step 5: Check for Windows Graphics Stack Issues 

    Run the following command in PowerShell as admin:

    sfc /scannow
