  1. Print Screen stopped working


    Hello, I just recently ran into a problem where Winkey + PrntScrn stopped working. I used to do it and it would just save the screen capture into my screenshots folder but it isn't working. I have looked around a bit and found that there is some issue with the xbox app or something disabling it. I recently got Forza 4 horizon which made me do some setup or something with the game bar or xbox app, sorry for being a bit confusing but I did not really pay attention at the time. Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

  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. Windows 10 infinite restart black screen


    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
