    Report bug: disable print screen button does not work


    Hi,When I navigate to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard en disable the Print screen button, that no longer works. I know this because my snippet tool Lightshot stopped working. When I set Lightshot to use, for instance, BACKSPACE, it works. I can't set it back to Print screen, because pressing the button... makes a screenshot.Can you please fix this ASAP, as I use the snipping tool of my choice a lot for work and this is really something that isn't easy to change in my flow to use a different shortcut.Kind regards,Eelco

    :)

    Screenshot not working by using the Print Screen button

    I have been using a desktop Windows 10 computer, with a Logitech K120 keyboard with a chord. But as the letters have worn off I changed it to a cordless Acer, but since then I haven't been able to use the Print Screen button to bring up the tools for the Snipping Tool & to do a screenshot using the Window key & Print Screen button. The Print Screen doesn't seem to work at all. I can use the shortcut for the Snipping Tool ie Windows + Shift + S, but I still can't take a screenshot. Would it have something to do with the fact the Print Screen button also has Insert on it as well (above)? Do I need to disable the top row of functions somehow to use the Print Screen?

    Print Screen Button

    Is there any way to control the options for just this one button as I want to leave my F keys as the default as I use F Keys as hotkeys in some games but I really would like the Print Screen option to be the default for that key.

    I have an HP where you can swap the F functions but it all or none. Maybe someone can suggest a Print Screen shortcut or you can use a separate program like Lightshot or Snipping tool for cutouts. Good Luck

    Print Screen Button

    If you have it set up, Print Screen button does work, just all your print screens are saved to the Microsoft Cloud
