The Windows key + F11 Impr Pant key shortcut stopped working on my computer. How do i fix this?

Can you test the Win key and the F11 key on your PC using something else, to check if one of the keys is faulty.

Both keys work fine, i've already tested them. The F11 key activates full-screen mode in my browser, and the Windows key opens the Start Menu.

My only problem is that the Windows key + Impr Pant key shortcut doesn't work (the screenshot isn't taken when i press these two keys).

My computer is relatively new and i have never had any problems with any key or with my keyboard, my only specific problem is that this shortcut does not run (it used to and now it doesn't anymore)

Thank you for taking the time to help me and continue responding, i hope we can find a solution.

Sorry that this is a difficult issue.

Does Win + Shift + S open Snipping Tool?

A few more things to try and confirm (I realise it works om the onscreen keyboard)

---

- Does your laptop have an F-lock key? Make sure the key is OFF or ON depending on which allows the function.

- Another thing to try

1. 1. Check Accessibility Settings:
   • Open Windows Settings (Start Menu -> Settings).
     
     
   • Navigate to Accessibility -> Keyboard.
     
     
   • Look for the section titled "Use the Print screen key to open Snipping Tool".
     
     
   • If the slider is OFF, turn it ON.
     
     
   • If the slider is already ON, try toggling it OFF and then ON again to ensure it's properly saved.
2. 2. Restart Your Computer:
   After adjusting the setting, restart your computer to ensure the changes are fully applied.

- Perhaps there is a driver update. You haven’t listed the full model of your Laptop so I can’t help to look

---

- Are there any other programs that may be using this key combination? Like other Screen Print Apps?

if you press F1 and F2, do the dim and brighten the screen? Or do you neen to hols the Fn down first? Whether you need the Fn key or not is set in Bios. Could you have changed this setting by accident?

Currently:
Win+PrtScrn captures your entire screen(s) and copies it to the Clipboard only,
Win+Shift+S allows a regional capture, and copies it to the Clipboard.
