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 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.
What functionality is used by pressing Win+Shift+S? Is it this that is preventing any other app from working? How can this be disabled please? Is this it?
No print screen app will work on Win11. I've tried LightShow, ShareX, Greenshot j(the latter I have used for years on my Win10Home laptop), have spent an hour on the phone with a Win11 Tech support officer who was VERY helpful and thorough, and also spent an hour on the phone with a Lenovo Yoga expert who was also very helpful and thorough and neither of them could get any screen snipping program working on my laptop. The problem seems to be with the PrtSc key - no matter what they did it wouldn't work. We've edited via Regedit and reassigned the PrtSc key in the settings for each of the above-mentioned apps and that didn't work either. Win11 is buggy. I'm sorry I bought a new laptop.
I'm still working with them
Had the same problem and tried for hours to screen shot and send to paint. This way , FN+windows +print screen worked...
Oh Paul, that's very clever of you to discover how to turn off the new use of the Print screen key which opens screen capture! But it's even better than the results you describe. At least on my laptop running Windows 11. When I turn off Open Screen Capture, I can indeed get back to the previous function IF I use Windows key with Print Screen key, then it takes a full screenshot of my.... well, full screen ... and lets me know this by momentarily dimming the screen, and also AUTOMATICALLY saves that screenshot to the default Screenshots folder inside the Pictures folder, just like it used to do. I use this method so frequently in doing research or artwork that I actually have stickers on those two keys on my old Win 10 PC, so I can see or even feel those 2 keys at a glance. Now I can put the same two stickers on my Win 11 laptop! btw, the stickers I use, in case anyone wonders, are actually old school reinforcement stickers (the round circles used on 3-hole looseleaf paper to repair or prevent the holes from ripping apart. I don't remove the center of the stickers, so I have full round bright white circles on a black keyboard, they stand out like a sore thumb! Just what I want. lol.)
Thanks so much, Paul for figuring this out :)
