  1. Can't take screenshots with Windows + PrtSc


    I take a lot of screenshots with the Windows + PrtSc shortcut, but it doesn't seem to be working anymore. It'll give me the quick screen-graying effect that it usually does, but nothing new will show up in the Screenshots folder. I've already tried deleting a few of my old screenshots to make room, but that didn't do anything.

    :)

  2. PrtSc screenshots

    PrtSc screenshots used to got to OneDrive>Pictures>Screenshots -- up thru 3-25-19; now they disappear into space. There is no Screenshots folder in User>Pictures. Where else could they be going?

    Winkey+PrtSc Not Saving Screenshots to Directory

    Since Fn+Winkey+PrtSc is not a recognised keyboard shortcut, I assume that you have a laptop and the Fn key was necessary because the PrtSc key has two functions.

    Your keyboard probably has a key combination that toggles normal behaviour between a default of the Fn key being off [hence your Fn+Winkey+PrtSc] and a default of the Fn key being on [so you should now be able to take Screenshots using just Winkey+PrtSc].

    Each manufacturer has its own idea of what a suitable keyboard shortcut would be to toggle between these two behaviours; it is not a Windows setting. On one of my computers, just for example, it's Fn+Esc and the Esc key has a blue padlock symbol on it to help me remember when I need to. You will need to look all over your keyboard, study your computer manual, search your computer maker's website or try any user support forum that they host.
