Greenshot Settings after Windows Update

How to do it on Windows

Windows screenshot shortcut settings or startup registrations may be reset during a system update. Before changing capture or export settings, save any important existing work and check the Windows notification area for a running Greenshot process.

1. Step 1. Check Print Screen behaviour in Windows accessibility settings.
2. Step 2. Check Greenshot tray Preferences and startup settings.
3. Step 3. Reassign conflicting keys and run a capture test.

How to verify the result

The expected Greenshot capture action should be restored. Check the actual image file or open capture result instead of relying only on a successful shortcut animation. If the expected output is missing, repeat the task with a known local folder and the tray-menu command.

Common limitation or mistake

For repeatable troubleshooting, record your Windows version, Greenshot release, capture mode and chosen destination. Changing one setting at a time makes it easier to identify which adjustment helped.
