Ok. This is maybe a good solution that might work for others. I "right-click" in the screen and select "screen shot." That gives me the selection tool.
Problem Solved!
I hope this helps other people.

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?

I don't have a "Windows" button on my Logitech keyboard. Using "Function - Print Screen" copies both of my screens when what I want to show a student is a specific thing on one screen. I really need that functionability back.
it still doenst work
I just came across this article where everything I did it would just capture both monitors and even the alt + prt scn would not work. For me it was because I has Logi+ Options installed it overrode the windows settings so even though I had use print screen key to open screen capture on it would not work.
Going into Logi+ Options and and changing the print screen to just print screen fixed it for me.
Amazing.
Wonderful thinking around the box. Just shows how companies can do things but without communicating it change something entirely for users.
And I wonder why they felt the need to change.
To use their own software to harvest the image data?
No one actually wants a workaround from a single button to multiple button combinations, or opening specific apps.
It's not a fix to a problem, and should onl be mentioned in the same breath as "until it's fixed"
I currently have two windows 11 devices.
Both on the same build. 26100.2894 (24H2).
One print screen button works great as expected.
The other just flashes when the button is pushed and doesn't save the screenshot.
Both have been rebooted.
Both "use the print screen key to open screen capture"
