    Black screen after Windows update.

    Hi Crystel,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    • Were you able to get to the desktop screen after you restarted the system?
    • When the screen was blank, were you able to see the cursor on the screen?
    • Did you get any error code or error message?

    Please get back to us with answers to above questions, for us to suggest the appropriate troubleshooting steps.

    Meanwhile, I suggest to try the steps mentioned in the article below and let us know if it helps.

  3. PrtSc screenshots

    PrtSc screenshots used to got to OneDrive>Pictures>Screenshots -- up thru 3-25-19; now they disappear into space. There is no Screenshots folder in User>Pictures. Where else could they be going?

    Winkey+PrtSc Not Saving Screenshots to Directory

    Since Fn+Winkey+PrtSc is not a recognised keyboard shortcut, I assume that you have a laptop and the Fn key was necessary because the PrtSc key has two functions.

    Your keyboard probably has a key combination that toggles normal behaviour between the Fn key being off [hence your Fn+Winkey+PrtSc] and the Fn key being on [so you should now be able to take Screenshots using just Winkey+PrtSc].

    Each manufacturer has its own idea of what a suitable keyboard shortcut would be to toggle between these two behaviours; it is not a Windows setting. On one of my computers, just for example, it's Fn+Esc and the Esc key has a padlock symbol on it to help me remember when I need to. You will need to look all over your keyboard, study your computer manual, search your computer maker's website or try any user support forum that they host.
