  1. Alt-Prntscrn stopped working


    After updating windows, my Alt-prntscrn stopped working. Win-prntscrn still works, and prntscrn still works, but I need to take a screenshot of the active window/monitor, not all the windows, and I need it to save automatically to a folder, without the need to paste it into a program.


    why has this functionality stopped working after an update, and how can I fix it?

    :)

    Windows 10 "Left Alt + Shift" language input switch suddenly stop working. It used to work before.

    Hi Jida,

    There are a few reasons why "Left Alt + Shift" is suddenly stopped working on your computer. Since you mentioned that you already tried some troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you create a
    Test Profile. From there, check if the issue occurs.

    To create a user profile, follow these steps:

    • Go to Settings. Click Accounts.
    • Select Family & other people.
    • Select the Add someone else to this PC tab.
    • Name the user as Test.
    • Leave the password field blank.
    • Hit Next.
    • Sign in as Test user.
    Let us know how it works.

    Alt-Prntscrn stopped working

    alt-tab stopped working

    It's possible to temporarily remap ALT and TAB keys (remap to little used or unused key) to check if the key is actually broken. If the remapped keys work then it's a keyboard problem. If the remapped keys do not work then the problem lies elsewhere.
