If screenshots do not work in Windows 11, the issue may involve Snipping Tool, keyboard shortcuts, or another application capturing the shortcut.
## Method 1: Open Snipping Tool
Open Start, search for Snipping Tool, select New, and capture part of the screen.
## Method 2: Try Windows + Shift + S
Press Windows + Shift + S, select an area, and check whether the capture appears in notifications or the clipboard.
## Method 3: Check Print Screen settings
Open Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard and review the setting controlling the Print Screen key.
## Method 4: Repair Snipping Tool
Go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find Snipping Tool, open its advanced options, and select Repair. If necessary, try Reset.
## Method 5: Restart Windows Explorer
Open Task Manager with Ctrl + Shift + Esc, find Windows Explorer, right-click it, and select Restart.
## Method 6: Check keyboard software
Gaming keyboards and manufacturer utilities can remap Print Screen. Temporarily close keyboard-management software and test again.
### Final tip
A screenshot can be copied to the clipboard without automatically becoming a file. Paste it into an image editor if needed.
