Roblox on Windows normally updates itself: when you launch it, the app downloads any new version before it opens. If you use the Microsoft Store version, updates come through the Store. When an update fails or loops, reinstalling fixes it in most cases.
Roblox has replaced its old Microsoft Store app. The current one is called Roblox – Windows and has a blue icon; the older gray-icon app will eventually stop working, so switch if you still have it.
