It has been working for a long time. Ever since there's been update. Updates were automatically. It messed up the application. How do I make my printscreen button to work again?

    windows is up to date-today. print scree toggle is in on position.win-shift and s: screen darkens and stays dark, while white rectangle opens at top of page with opton to snip. I clicked it. That opened the next option- Record. Not interested. None of this was in the screenshot folder.

    I found win+print screen works as far as it being put in the screenshots folder, but I have to check each time . That's the only way to know it worked, Agravating without the diming to indicate it worked. Thank you for your time.

    Thank you for your time. I found that it is working but to find out, I had to go to "screenshots". So, at least the indicator; a slight dimming of the page, is not working. It's agravating and time consuming to go back and check everytime. Does your's dim for comformation? Has that been removed or is it broken on my screen shot?
