Help Needed: Screenshot Shortcut Key Conflict on Windows 11
Hello, Dropbox Community,
I’m reaching out to the community today because I’m experiencing an issue that has become quite a puzzle for me, and frankly, it’s starting to drive me a bit up the wa...

Just to provide an update, I've successfully managed to get the screenshot function working again on this specific keyboard and am sharing this update in case anyone else encounters a similar issue in the future. The resolution involved opening the Logitech Options software, selecting the keyboard, and noting that, by default, the key was assigned to 'Screen Snip' - which was somewhat unusual.
I then changed it to 'Screen Capture'. This adjustment now allows me to use ALT + the screen key to create a snapshot in Dropbox.
Thank you for the assistance, nonetheless.

There is a shortcut 100% something + print screen I'm sure I've just forgotten it.. If I just press the print screen key it brings up the snippet tool!
The default functionality for taking a screenshot changed in Windows 11. Previously you could just hit PrtScn and a screenshot would be taken. As you mentioned, that now opens the screenshot tool built-in to Windows. Instead, CTRL-PrtScn will take a screenshot in whichever application has registered to handle them.

Hi K0zZ, are you using a laptop or normal desktop computer?

I'm using a normal desktop with an Mx Keys S keyboard.. This is the 2nd keyboard I've had I never had issues with the 1st keyboard this was replaced due to a broken key (not the print screen key btw).. However, I don't think prtscn is working on this keyboard it's not mapped.. maybe I need to manually map it.. anyway not a dropbox issue if it's my k/b
I went to this site https://keyboardtester.io/tester/ pressed all keys and prtscn not highlighting .. hence the issue lol

According to the web, it's possible that the screenshot button is on the top row of the Numpad. However, you might need to check the developer directly for more help locating that key.
