How to limit Roblox time on a Windows PC
Updated:
Roblox has no built-in daily time limit, and “just one more game” easily turns into hours. On a Windows PC you can set clear rules for when Roblox is allowed — and see how much time it really takes.

Step 1. See how much your child actually plays
Install child-time on your child's computer (5-minute guide). After a day or two, the dashboard shows which apps were used and for how many minutes — Roblox included. Many parents are surprised by the real number.
Step 2. Allow Roblox only at certain hours
- In the parent dashboard open Kids & limits and tap “⏸ App” next to your child.
- Pick Roblox from the list — it shows the apps your child has actually opened, so Roblox appears after it's been played at least once with child-time installed.
- Choose how: “After a daily minute limit” — for example 60 minutes of Roblox a day; “Only outside allowed hours” — for example only from 6 pm to 8 pm; or “Always” to pause it completely for now.
When the limit is used up or it's outside the allowed hours, Roblox's window is minimized if your child opens it, and they see why. Other apps keep working.
Step 3. Cap total screen time
Add a daily limit with “+ Limit” — for example 2 hours a day for everything on the computer. Your child sees an honest timer and gets warnings at 15, 5 and 1 minute left, so time's up never comes as a surprise.
Step 4. Let them earn extra time
Create tasks like “30 minutes of reading → +20 minutes”. Your child marks the task as done, you approve it on your phone, and the minutes are added to today's time. It turns arguments into a deal.
