Re: [WORKAROUND] Print Screen Key not working on Windows 11

With Windows 11 we got about a year ago, a new Screen Print tool built into Win. It have many functions of which one is to capture only parts of the screen. Absolutely vital, once you've gotten used to it. I take all my screen caps with it since it means I don't have to open Photoshop and edit my screenshots, I can do it directly on the screen. It worked just fine in the game, until two days ago. Now it doesn't even take a regular screenshot in game, but forces me to use the C-key which is useless for most occasions.
Read about it here... https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/use-snipping-tool-to-capture-screenshots-00246869-1843-655f-f220-97299b865f6b

    @crinrict Yes, I've pulled the whole mods folder and deleted to localthumbscache, I've tried all different key combinations, though usually, it's just enough to hit the PrntSrn key. I'm at a loss. And it isn't a system issue, as it works outside of the game. Thanks for trying.

    Restarted the game and rebooted the laptop, and finally managed to get it to work by using the key-combo Win-Shift-S. It will have to do for now. 
    I accept this as the solution, in case someone else have the same issue.
