When roblox give this, all you need to do is run RobloxPlayerBeta and this will get fixed.
But when running it, bloxtrap will not be used, so you need to execute the play roblox with the bloxtrap icon

This isn't really a fix. This error can happen for any number of reasons, given it's coming from Hyperion. How would launching Roblox into the desktop app work if launching it from the website wouldn't?

Not sure, the only way this error stop is when I run the roblox without bloxtrap, but if I leave the game and use bloxtrap, it launches without problems

The SensApi.dll error is obviously not from bloxstrap, sometimes you can fix it by doing disk cleanup on your thumbnails from what i know.

I'll keep this open for now, and I'll see if this somehow works with anybody else who encounters this.

I don't know under what exact conditions the SensApi.dll error occurs, but I've noticed it happens when you mess around with the game client files a bunch, so doing this seems to somewhat check out. That probably isn't the only thing it's for, but I've just noticed it there.

I also encountered the issue, though I'm unsure this could be fixed.
I guess pizzaboxer could implement a check and a warning prompt for missing SensApi DLL.
Relaunching Roblox fixed it for me so maybe there could be a option to kill the client and relaunch.

It's a red herring from Hyperion. Nothing is actually missing.

Odd, maybe Hyperion should take it's meds.

strange since I don't do changes on files, they give the same error after I restart my windows, is like its some temporary dll that is downloaded when roblox launch(with launcher)

For me running as administrator worked

I had the same issue nonstop a few weeks ago. This is related to Hyperion, not Bloxstrap.
I've confirmed this error is given when the anticheat detects a program running that it thinks is "fishy" (at least for the most part). You can fix it by force closing programs one by one through task manager. You may have to stop their respected services too, as some run in the background even after closing them.
For me it was iCUE, and at a later time the "Everything" app from voidtools caused it too.

Had the issue today. Fixed it by running sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth in administrator Command Prompt

Minor correction courtesy of my favourite Windows nerd - those two commands should be done the other way round, order matters.

I keep running into this error once in a while and the easiest way to fix it without running Roblox without Bloxstrap or anything like that is to just tick Force Roblox reinstallation in Bloxstrap settings under Behaviour

The issue gets fixed but re-occurs after a few days or so

Can you make this any clearer for people new to command prompts?
(I haven't been able to do this properly yet.)

In your Start menu, type "cmd", right click, run as Administrator, enter dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, then after that command has finished run: sfc /scannow and be sure to restart afterwards

I am going to share my information to yall hoping that it would fix it to somebody or two. Here are all the fixes that I've come across while researching this topic, dont expect me to say a lot about each fix, theres too much

1- Go to CMD as administrator, dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and after that finishes, sfc /scannow

2- Clear thumbnails, search disk cleanup, and only choose to remove thumbnails from the menu.

3- Simply reset your pc. Format it, and keep all the personal files you need somewhere in a HDD (Last resort, dont do this unless you reeealllly want to.)

4- Run Roblox as an administrator, sometimes Roblox is missing the proper privileges to do what it needs to do

5- Check if it's because it's interfering with a background process, if you have too many background processes, simply make a new user, give it administrator privileges, and launch Roblox from there, if its still the same, then its not happening because of any processes interference

6- Replace the DLL file, go to DLL-files.com and search for sensapi.dll, download the one thats suited for your machine (64 or 32 bit), and paste it into system32, and SysWOW64.

7- Check for updates on your windows device, if there are none, then wait for one.

8- (Not recommended) If you are in the Windows insider program, switch to Canary channel to receive the earliest update you can, even if its filled with bugs.

9- Make sure if Roblox is allowed through the public and private firewall, if it isnt, allow it to do so. Go to search, and type in "Allow an app through Windows firewall", and search for Roblox, if it isnt there, add it manually by going to the roblox folder, and choosing the Roblox launcher, then allow it through the private and public networks.

10- Use the Microsoft store, yes I know I know, it sucks ass, and it barely functions, but if your whole life depended on opening Roblox, then you have no other choice.

11- Uninstall Roblox, completely. Delete it from the appdata local folder, and delete it from temp, and uninstall it from control panel, or better yet, use an advance uninstaller program like iObit Uninstaller , then try to install Roblox again.

12- If you still want to do something instead of lie around and wait for it to fix itself, you can try installing MalwareBytes and doing a full scan on your system, perhaps there is a virus interfering with the files and corrupting them, I'm not sure if this is even a fix though.

There are more, but these are the only ones I can list off the top of my head, which is 2 little cows running around in a circle. Hope this helps

Just some comments:

Do not try 6. Don't try it. Just don't.

Only try 3 as a true last resort.

Yeah, through all of the youtube videos and reddit threads i've seen, ive not seen ONE person number 6 work for, but I think it's worth mentioning since everybody else does.

As for number 3, yeah I should've put it at last, or comment that its a last resort, thanks for the feedback.

I don't know about you guys, but closing the windows app Phone Link solved this issue for me. (unless of course it was a coincidence)

Issue re-appeared after installing Equalizer APO (https://sourceforge.net/projects/equalizerapo/)

1- Go to CMD as administrator, dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth and after that finishes, sfc /scannow

Fixed it right away
