Anyone know why you cannot use Greenshot in Visual Studio? I hit the Screen Print button and it does not bring up the cross-hairs to drag my window size. Instead it just takes a plain windows screenshot. I looked for keyboard commands that might override it but didnt see anything at first glance. It works for every other program but not when Visual Studio is the active window.
Greenshot is running as an own process in the background. To reach the application, you can right click the Greenshot icon in the notification area or directly take a screenshot by pressing one of the defined keys. Several editor windows can be open in parallel.
Check If There Is an F Mode or F Lock Key on the Keyboard. If there is an F Mode key or F Lock key on your keyboard, the Print Screen not working Windows 10 may be caused by them, because such keys can disable the PrintScreen key. If so, you should enable the Print Screen key by pressing F Mode key or F Lock key again.
1- Windows 10 start bar dialog: Go to "Settings" > "Ease of Access" > "Keyboard". 3- Reconfigure PrtScn button inside Greenshot Preferences. Now it works! =)
It's because your visual studio is running in a higher level (permission wise) than your greenshot instance.
for a one time test, close Greenshot, and run it as administrator (right click on the file, run as administrator).
As a more permanent solution, you can just set the compatibility mode for the file to be run in admin mode, and then when it's started on start up it should capture your VS instances as well :).
Edit: Just in case, you can easily figure out if anything else is wired to a shortcut by doing the following:
