    PrtScn Key Misbehaving


    My keyboard PrtScn key has behaved well with Greenshot on Windows 11 would "Capture Region" as ddefine in my Greenshot > Preferences > Hotkeys until a couple minutes ago... It started to opening a new window of Spotify desktop app. I thought Spotify was interacting with the hardware and uninstalled the app. Now the PrtScn key opens a new window of Excel...... I tried the on-screen keyboard PrtScn key and it still opens Greenshot "Capture Region".Any idea how I can go back to my physical PrtScn keyboard key to opens Greenshot "Capture Region"?Thank you

    :)

    I want to use my PRTSCN function key

    It used to work just fine then something happened.....my PrtScn button on my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 5050 does NOT work anymore when I push it. Alt + PrtScn nope, Cntl + Alt + PrtScn nope, Win Key + PrtScn brings up start menu. I keep reading
    that 'Snipping Tool' has 'disabled my key'....is this true. I want my PrtScn back....please help!

    Win+PrtScn no longer works

    When I use the key combo, the screen flashes like it works properly, but no image is saved to a place I know. Same goes with Alt+Win+Space. Using Snippet with Win+Shift+S or PrtScn works but extra steps are needed to save the image.
