How do I activate the Print Screen Utility? It once was active, now it's not. Thanks in advance.

Windows doesn't come with such.

The Printscreen "key" on the keyboard just does what it does and nothing more.

It's easy

You can take a screen shot by pressing "PrintScrn" on your keyboard. The image will be saved in the clipboard. You can insert it then into applications like Paint or Word by pressing "Ctrl" + "V".

This is simple and easy to use and is free. I use it often. This is not an ad, just a recommendation.
