Windows 10: Not able to save screenshots

Hello,

For a while I have a weird issue with saving the screenshots. I get the animation (screen gets darker) but screenshots wont be saves in Pictures/Screenshots.

I have checked the permissions, I also saw the fix with registry and adding the screenshotindex value and to point it to the folder is user shell folders, but that didnt worked either. Actually, the number in screenshotindex (which indicates the # of screenshots, wont change at all)

Even after a format, I still have the same issue. Any ideas?

Latest fast version 19592.1001, but this happened even before joining insiders

:)
