To make Roblox full screen on Windows 11, click inside the game window and press F11. Press F11 again to go back to a window. You can also press Esc to open the Roblox menu, select the Settings tab, and set Fullscreen to On. On many laptops you need to press Fn + F11, because the F keys control volume or brightness by default.
Applies to: Roblox on Windows 11. Checked on September 30, 2026.
Method 1: Press F11
- Open Roblox and join a game.
- Click once inside the game so it’s the active window.
- Press F11. The game fills the screen and the taskbar and title bar disappear.
- To leave full screen, press F11 again.
If F11 does nothing on a laptop
Many laptop keyboards use the top row for media keys such as volume and brightness. To send a real F11, hold Fn and press F11.
Some keyboards also have an Fn Lock key, often marked with a padlock and Fn, or combined with Esc. Turning it on makes the top row act as F1 to F12 without holding Fn. Check your PC maker’s guide for where it is on your keyboard.
Method 2: Turn on Fullscreen in Roblox settings
- While you’re in a game, press Esc, or select the Roblox menu button at the top left of the screen.
- Select the Settings tab.
- Find Fullscreen and set it to On.
- Press Esc or select Resume to go back to the game.
This does the same thing as F11, so use whichever is easier. Set Fullscreen to Off to go back to a window.
Full screen vs. a maximized window
A maximized window still shows the title bar and usually the taskbar. Full screen hides both, so the game uses the whole display. If you only want a bigger window, select Maximize at the top right of the Roblox window, or press Windows logo key + Up arrow. For full screen in other apps, see how to go full screen in Windows 11.
If Roblox won’t fill the screen
- The game window isn’t active. Click inside the game before pressing F11, so the key goes to Roblox rather than another app.
- The taskbar still shows. Press F11 twice to leave and re-enter full screen. If it keeps appearing, you can set the taskbar to hide automatically. See how to hide the taskbar in Windows 11.
- There are black bars or the picture looks stretched. Check that your display uses its recommended resolution in Settings > System > Display > Display resolution. For more options, see how to set a custom resolution in Windows 11.
- Motion looks choppy in full screen. Make sure your monitor is running at its highest refresh rate. See how to change the refresh rate in Windows 11.
- Nothing works. Close Roblox completely and open it again. If the problem keeps happening, reinstalling Roblox often helps. See how to uninstall Roblox on Windows 11.
Keep full screen smooth
Full screen asks your PC to draw every pixel of the display, which can slow down older or low-power laptops. If the game stutters after you switch to full screen, open the Roblox Settings tab, set Graphics mode to Manual, and move Graphics quality down a few steps. Plugging a laptop into power and closing other apps also helps.
Play full screen on a second monitor
- Drag the Roblox window to the monitor you want, or press Windows logo key + Shift + Left arrow or Right arrow to move it.
- Click inside the game and press F11.
Roblox goes full screen on the monitor the window is on.
Frequently asked questions
How do I exit full screen in Roblox?
Press F11 (or Fn + F11) again, or set Fullscreen to Off in the Roblox Settings tab.
Why does Roblox leave full screen when I press Alt + Tab?
Switching to another app minimizes or steps out of the game. Select Roblox on the taskbar to return. If it comes back as a window, press F11 again.
Does full screen make Roblox run faster?
It can feel smoother because nothing else is drawn on top of the game, but the difference is usually small. Lowering Graphics quality in the Roblox Settings tab has a bigger effect.
How do I take a screenshot while Roblox is full screen?
Press Windows logo key + Print Screen. Windows saves the whole screen to Pictures > Screenshots without leaving the game.
Does this work on Windows 10?
Yes. F11 and the Fullscreen setting work the same way on Windows 10.
