## How to switch cleanly on Windows

Installing Bloxstrap from [/download](https://bloxstraplabs.ink/download) automatically registers the `roblox-player://` protocol handler for your Windows user account. You do not need to delete your Roblox account credentials or browser cookies.

If you ever want to revert, uninstalling Bloxstrap in Windows Installed Apps automatically points `roblox-player://` back to the stock Roblox launcher.

### Can I switch back to Manual ClientAppSettings.json Editing anytime?

Yes. Uninstalling Bloxstrap from Windows Settings → Apps restores the default Roblox launcher handler in seconds.
