Default Print screen


My print screen button is not working. I press the button and try to paste
into paint but the paste button isn't even highlighted. There is just nothing
there. Have also tried alt+printscreen.
Is there some sort of set up I need to do before using the button?

This should work as it did on previous versions of Windows. If you are using
one of the many custom keyboards or wireless keyboards, there could be
something in the settings for that device that is interferring with this
procedure.

Don't know... it works here. Hit PrntScrn button, open Paint, hit Edit-Paste
and voila! there's the "full screen" screen capture. Works with Alt-PrntScrn
to capture windows too.

Some keyboards try to squeeze more functions into certain keys. If there is
a F-Lock key on the keyboard, you might try hitting that once and then try
the print screen key again.
