Windows 10: Windows 10 suddenly stopped taking Screen Shots

Looks like this was asking in Jan 2018 but no solution posted- Windows 10 suddenly stopped taking screenshots. I have a brand new Lenovo Ideapad s340 (owned for <6mo). Tonight I took a screenshot via a command in a virtual lab I am working in; this function has worked fine for 3 months. A few more steps into the lab and I need to take another screenshot and NOTHING HAPPENS! I try the PrtSc key, NOTHING; I try the keyboard shortcuts, NOTHING! I need this function in order to successfully complete several more virtual labs by the end of semester. Any help??

Screen Shot in Windows 10

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

• What exactly are you referring to?
• Are you facing any kind of issues with Windows?

If you want to take a screen shot and save it as picture, I suggest you to check with the below steps.

To take a screen shot and save it as a picture

• 
  Click the window you want to capture. Press Alt+Print Screen by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the Print Screen key. The Print Screen key is near the upper-right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact
  key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)
  

Note: You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the Print Screen key without holding down the Alt key.

• 
  Click Start, click Accessories, and then click
  Paint.
  
• 
  In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click
  Paste.
  
• 
  When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click
  Save As.
  
• 
  In the Save As dialog box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click
  Save.
  

Please do get back to us with the answers to assist you better with issue you are facing.
