Mouse won't stop moving around in shiftlock/when holding right click on certain games

Question

Mouse won't stop moving around in shiftlock/when holding right click on certain games

glumbus 0

I have been having trouble with the cursor on certain games, specifically those with a shiftlock function. The cursor will not cease movement even with the function enabled. It will move around the screen even as the camera remains 'shiftlocked', but it can still click on things. (And, at times, it has even caused me to close my game mid-action.)

This bug has been happening to me on:

Roblox

People Playground

As well as other games.

I have not yet found a fix for this, and am unaware if one even exists. Please help!

Hi, @glumbus

Since this happens in several games, please try an affected game in both full-screen and windowed mode. In Roblox, also turn "Shift Lock Switch" off and back on in the in-game "Settings."

Please double-check whether another controller is connected, including through Bluetooth. If you find one, disconnect it temporarily and test the game again.

If the issue still persists, to help narrow down the issue:

Does the cursor move when the mouse is completely still, or only when you move the mouse?
Can the cursor reach the taskbar or another monitor while the camera is locked?
Are you using one monitor or more than one?

Hi, I have tried the things you told me to but they have not worked.

To answer your questions to narrow things down;

the cursor only moves when i move the mouse. it thankfully does not move independently.

the cursor can in fact reach the task bar and interact with it, as well as close my game.

i am only using one monitor If there is anything else that can help with this i would greatly appreciate it

Thank you for checking. The cursor reaching the taskbar suggests the games are failing to keep it locked inside the game window.

Please try checking Game Bar next:

Close the games. Open "Settings" > "System" > "System components."

Find "Game Bar," click the three dots beside it, then select "Advanced options" > "Repair."

Reopen a game and test. Temporarily turn off any Discord, Steam, or other game overlays you use.

If it still happens, return to Game Bar's "Advanced options" and select "Reset." This resets Game Bar's settings. Restart the PC and test again.

If the issue still persists, to help narrow down the issue:

What Windows version and OS build are you using? Press Windows + R, type winver and press Enter

Did you install Roblox from the Microsoft Store or the Roblox website?

Thanks!
