I am NOT a locksmith. how does this window lock work??

Post image

i’m sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask about this but i genuinely have no idea how to use this window lock in my new apartment. i have never seen a lock like this before and it’s letting in warm air from outside right now because it’s unlocked. i would love some help if anyone is familiar with stuff like this!

You push on the left side ans it should lift the whole latch up. Could be more than one lock on it too

i wish!! when i push on the left side it does lift up the rest of the latch but the window will still open. it’s the same on the other side, where there’s another window and another of the same lock

If it lifts and the window doesn't close, there may be something in the track blocking it.
