I'm having an unusual issue – any way I attempt to print screen all I get is a black screen (using the WIN+PrtSc) a live black screen using Greenshot (as in I can move the cursor, see the dimension per usual, but everything is black) or snipping tool (complete capture I get total black, area capture goes all gray, then the section I choose is black).
Any ideas as to what may be causing this? I am running Stardock WindowBlinds; but I switched out to a standard Windows theme and the problem persisted. I am not running any security software other than MS that would block a screennshot, and, as a test, I tried to record my desktop with YouCam (which worked just fine).
Any insight much appreciated. 64-Bit Windows 10, GTX1070, i7-7820. If you need any other information on my system I'm happy to supply it!
