Windows 10: Win+PrintScreen is not not working -- photos aren't getting saved

When I press Win+PrintScreen, screenshots aren't getting saved anywhere. I tried other combinations as well, like, Function+PrintScreen, win+function+PrintScreen etc but nothing is working.

Saving a printscreen

Your pics should be saved in C:\Users\[YOUR USERNAME]\Pictures\Screenshots.

When you press WIN+PrtSc, you should see the screen blink. If not, then you may be running an older instance of Windows 10 that does not support this feature yet. I am on this build:




Examples:

Before:



After:




UPDATE:
It is also possible that PrnSc is tied to same button as your multimedia function keys. In this case you need to press WIN+FN+PrnSc

 

Cheap Photo box that will get the job done

Greenshot: The hotkey(s) "PrintScreen, Alt + PrintScreen, Ctrl + PrintScreen, ..." could not be registered

Adding on top of @userJT's solution -

Initially, Greenshot complained about "PrintScreen" and "Ctrl + PrintScreen" for me. It appears that "PrintScreen" was taken by OneDrive and "Ctrl + PrintScreen" - by DropBox. After you disable both, problem goes away.

Full list of steps -

1. See the error message like in the question. Panic, google, get to this page
   
2. Note the first key that Greenshot complains about.
   
   • In most of the cases it will be "PrintScreen", so let's take it as an example.
     
3. Press "PrintScreen" on your keyboard.
   
4. OneDrive will pop up, prompting to save screenshots to OneDrive. Choose "No, Thanks" there.
   
5. Click "Retry" in Greenshot's dialog, note the keys that are still taken.
   
6. Repeat steps above for keys that Greenshot cannot register until it succeeds.
   
   • In my case it was "Ctrl + PrintScreen" that was taken by DropBox.
     
7. Enjoy shortcuts in Greenshot
   

HTH.
