    I have an HP Pavilion all in one PC. They advised that to take a screenshot I should press shift+windows+S. For some time this worked ok but now the results no longer appear in my screenshots folder. I dont know if this is because it is not being taken or is it now saved elsewhere?
    Would appreciate advice. Thanks.

    No, they clearly stated I use Shift+ windows key + S and it worked fine for ages, but not now it seems. Actually I cannot see a Print Screen key on my board? Probably why I asked them in the first place.

    It could be a Windows update "broke" it.
    See screenshot for usual placement on standard keyboard. 20240330_203952.jpg

    Try this key, Tony.
    It looks like the Print Screen key. Screenshot_20240331_092531_Edge.jpg

    That's a bit weird.

    Can you use the Windows + Print Screen key to copy the screen and then paste it into a Word (or other word processor) document?

    Thanks Tony but see my keyboard above, I don’t seem to have a print screen button. This I think is why HP said to use shift + windows + S but that is not working in that it gives me the above (on the blue screen) none of those three options seem to creat a screenshot although it does flash but if it is giving one then where is it as it is not in my screenshots folder?

    Sorry, I now see that in previous posts.
    1. Did you try looking in your Pictures folder? Maybe the 'save' location changed.
    2. Also, after you use the Windows + Shift + S key combo, open a word document and do a Paste (Ctrl V). See if the paste function places the screenshot in the document.
    3. Here's an article I found that describes several methods to capture a screen. The first few use the Print Screen button. Scroll down to Method 4 which uses the Snipping Tool.
    https://www.wikihow.com/Take-a-Scre...ws key + Print,inside of your Pictures folder.

    Thanks Tony, that method 4 suggestion seems to have resolved things for me.
    Very grateful.
