  1. Print screen key stopped working


    About three weeks ago my print screen key stopped making screenshots. Previously it would send an image to the pictures/screenshots file with one press of the Print Screen key only, and it was that way for years, over different PC's and keyboards, then three weeks ago it quit. I could still make a screenshot by simultaneously pressing Win + Print Screen, and I could use the Print Screen to turn on the snipping tool, but then that sopped working about a week ago. Now the Print Screen key does nothing. I tried an alternate keyboard to see if it is a hardware issue, and the situation stays the s

  2. Printing stopped with November upgrade

    Hey Prestonpdx,

    I would suggest you check if the print spooler is running. Start/Stop print spooler service. Follow the steps below.


    • Press Windows key + R, type services.msc
      and press Enter.

    • From the list, locate Print Spooler service.

    • Double click on the service and select Stop.

    • Restart the computer, repeat step 1&2.

    • Double click on the service and check if the service is started.
    Get back to us with the updated status, we’ll be glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

  3. Print Screen Key Stopped Working

    my pc windows 10 screenshot function stopped working about three weeks ago. previously when i pressed the print screen key it would take a screenshot, then about three weeks ago it began converting screenshots to web-only files. at that time i was able to make a screenshot by simultaneously pressing win and print screen, but then that stopped working a week ago. i changed keyboards and the problem stays the same. i went into settings/ease of access/keyboard, but the only selection there is to enable print screen to open the snipping tool, which i'm not trying to do. i want to make a screenshot by pressing the print screen key one time

    Print Screen Key

    Depending on the PC or keyboard, on some devices it is required to press the Print Screen key in conjunction with another key, ie: 'Print Screen + Winkey' or + FN key or + Shift key, try the list combinations and see how it goes!!!!!!
