    PrtScn Suddenly Stopped Working

    I've had my Surface 2 for two years. To save a screenshot all I ever had to do was press the PrtScn button. Suddenly, today, it's stopped working. A quick Google shows people suggesting that I use the Windows button in conjunction with the PrtScn button,
    that works... but doesn't solve the issue really. Why has a process that's worked flawlessly for two years suddenly stop working?

    Win+PrtScn no longer works

    When I use the key combo, the screen flashes like it works properly, but no image is saved to a place I know. Same goes with Alt+Win+Space. Using Snippet with Win+Shift+S or PrtScn works but extra steps are needed to save the image.
