Hello,
I have been trying ever sinse i got my laptop to get the Prt Sc button to work bc im sick of using the snipping tool its just a pain. I am moderatly tech savvy and well Shift+Prt Sc doesnt work and neither do Alt, Fn, or ctrl! It bothers me and i really want to be able to use all of my shortcut keys all of which the others work, except for the Print Screen Key!
Please Help Me.
Thank you。.:☆*:・'\(*⌒―⌒*)/,

What do you mean Prt Sc does not work ? What is its color code ? You may have to hold down Fn key then press Prt Sc.
This action ONLY copies the content of screen to the clipboard and you have to paste the clipboard to a Windows app such as Paint.
