Sometimes, you can get stuck in a certain Roblox game. Your character suddenly stops moving, regardless of what keys you press. That happens because you may have activated the UI navigation by mistake.
UI enables players to make decisions and navigate the game on Roblox. Think of it as an aspect that allows games to communicate with players.
Here are the two simple ways to disable UI navigation on Roblox:
1. Turn Off UI Navigation Permanently
You can turn off the UI Navigation on the “Settings” menu. Press “ESC” to enter the menu and then go to the “Settings” tab and set to “Off” the UI Navigation Toggle feature.
Here is a step-by-step guide to disable UI Navigation on Roblox permanently:
Step 1: Press “ESC” to open the Menu
Step 2: Go to “Settings > UI Navigation Toggle”
Step 3: Set It to “Off”
There’s been talks about Roblox shutting down its operations this year. But is there any fact to this rumor? Find out here.
2. Disable UI Navigation Temporarily
You can disable UI navigation temporarily by pressing the keybind, which is usually the “backslash” (\) on most keyboards.
The keybind to disabling UI Navigation may differ if you have a regional or non-QWERTY keyboard, like the UK or Scandinavian keyboard. For example, on a UK keyboard, it is the “#” key (next to “Enter”), not the backslash key.
If the backslash key doesn’t work, you can find the respective key bind in two places:
- The first place is through Settings. Go to “Settings > UI Navigation Selection Toggle”.
Here, you’ll see the keybind to disable UI Navigation temporarily. -
Alternatively, go to “Help > Misc > UI Navigation Toggle”.
After you see the keybind, return to the game and press the respective key on your keyboard. This should automatically disable UI Navigation temporarily.

Is It Normal to Get Stuck in UI Navigation in Roblox?
Yes, it’s normal to get stuck in Roblox UI navigation. Depending on your keyboard and settings, accidentally pressing the “/” or “#” might enable the UI selection toggle. Pressing these keys should automatically disable UI navigation.
If you’re using a plugged-in controller, removing it can fix getting accidentally stuck in Roblox’s UI navigation.
Also, removing anything plugged into your console or PC helps to disable the feature. Unfortunately, you can’t toggle or set the UI selection toggle to default off on Roblox. Therefore, you might have to constantly deal with getting stuck and freezing mid-game.
It Is Possible to Turn Off UI Navigation on Roblox
UI navigation on Roblox causes characters to freeze randomly. But you can turn off the UI selection toggle on the “Settings” menu. You can also disable it by pressing the backslash “/” button on your keyboard or looking for the keybind from the misc section under “Help”.
Another quick and easy fix is to disconnect anything plugged into your PC or console. If neither of these methods works, contact Roblox customer support for assistance.
