    I want to be able to take a screenshot while I am gaming, and I wanna be able to do it one handed so I can catch the middle of an action. (I need my hand on the mouse to execute such action) But prt sc doesn't work. fn + alt + prt sc works, but I need two hands to do that, and I heard that alt + prt scn can save only the active window to the clipboard to paste in MS Paint and I could do that one handed if I use the right side alt instead of the left one, but neither of them work either. Pressing alt + prt screen does not paste that screenshot when I try it. Windows key + prt sc also doesn't work, and I heard it's supposed to save the screenshot from the get go. None of the alternatives work EXCEPT for fn + alt + prt sc. I wanna be able to take a screenshot one handed using ONLY prt sc like I was able to do on my old laptop.

    :)

    Windows doesn`t start. Authomatic repair doesn`t work.


    Thanks again!!

    I`m sorry I had not noticed that the text on the picture was in spanish. It says that windows has replaced some damaged clusters in "name" file and "directory". Then, at the end "an unspecified error occurred (75736e6a726e6c2e 4f6)".

    I`ll do it and I`ll be updating this thread when I have the report.

    I ran SeaTools. These are the results:

    Prt sc button not working

    Hi,

    The Print Screen (Prt Sc) key is useful in getting screen captures and graphics on your Windows 10. If the
    Prt Sc key isn't working, please answer these questions so we can isolate the cause:

    • When did this start happening?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • Does it happen to a specific application or to all applications?
    In the meantime, you may definitely use the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot because it can also capture all of your screen or specific parts of it. Be sure to click this

    link
    for more details on how to use the Snipping Tool.

    Hope this helps and we're looking forward to your response.

    Thanks for your answer, ken!
    I deleted all my data. I had have it backed up.

    I did a clean installation using the windows media creation tool (usb option).

    No, I didn`t. I thought a clean installation would solve the problem.

    After posting my previous message, I did it.

    After chkdsk, I close cmd and tried to boot and the laptop just turned it off. This morning I`ve restarted it and automatically windows did a repair. Windows has booted and it seems that the repair tool has removed chrome and acrobat pdf reader (the only two programs I had installed after reinstalling windows).

    Now Windows is installing updates and restarting my lapop, I`m kind of frightened. I don`t want it to happen again. Anyhow, I want to know what has brought the issue

    I`ve been looking for information about the error code at the end of the picture and I didn`t get anywhere.
