Roblox has a feature that enables Windows PC players to lock the camera when holding Shift. However, many Roblox players have reported that the Shift Lock feature doesn’t work for them. For example, this is what one player said, “My Shift Lock won’t work when I lock on in Roblox. Does anyone have a solution?” This is how you can fix the Roblox Shift Lock not working on a Windows PC.
Adjust Roblox Game Settings
Players confirm they’ve fixed the Roblox Shift Lock not working by adjusting in-game settings. First, you should check if the Shift Lock Switch is enabled. Then, you might need to adjust the Movement Mode and Camera Mode settings. Try adjusting the Roblox game settings like this:
- First, start a Roblox game.
- Then bring up the options by clicking the Roblox button at the top-left corner or pressing Esc. If that option says Set by Developer, that means Shift Lock is disabled by default for that particular game.
- Click on the Settings tab.
- If Shift Lock Mode is Off, select On for that option.
- Select Keyboard + Mouse for the Movement Mode setting.
The Settings tab
- Then, select Classic for the Camera Mode setting.
- Click Esc to resume.
Uninstall Xbox Game Bar
The Game Bar is a Windows feature that can potentially conflict with the Roblox Shift Lock feature. Some players say removing the Game Bar has fixed the Roblox Shift Lock not working for them. If this fix doesn’t work for you, you can always reinstall the Game Bar via the Microsoft Store. You can uninstall the Xbox Game Bar with the freeware IObit Uninstaller 12 like this:
