Print Screen no longer working

Question

Hi, I had been using Fn + HOME to capture the screen and paste it into PhotoShop. But about a month ago, some new function was enabled when those keys are pressed. How do I now do a Print Screen? This could have happened after an update. I guess Restore was turned off? There are no restore points available on my laptop! Windows 11 Home 22H2 Build 22621.1992 Pack 1000.22644.1000.0 Thanks for your help. Regards,

Hi @flyingskibiker welcome to this free user-to-user Alienware laptop discussion forum.

Microsoft have decided that their Windows 11 Snipping Tool application will replace any OEM laptop screen capture options.

Creation of Windows 11 System Restore points can be manually enabled, the default is System Restore not enabled.

Thanks for the quick response! I didn't find that using FN+Windows Key+HOME works for me, now. I prefer that vs. using the Snipping Tool.
