How to fix the screenshot problem: Print Screen key not copying to the clipboard The following steps may not apply to your particular situation, but I thought it might be worth sharing in case it helps somebody. This software allowed me to actually see (in real-time) every Print Screen Key image capture happening. Then from the software itself, I was able to paste the screenshot into Photoshop. I resorted to using 3rd party software called Clipdiary to first verify if my screenshot was being saved to the clipboard properly. I finally found a workaround to fix this problem. I had already taken several screenshots minutes before without any issues and then the last screenshot would not paste into Photoshop. I kept getting an older screenshot every time I attempted to paste a new screenshot into Photoshop. Basically, nothing new was being copied to the clipboard when I took a screenshot using the Print Screen Key. I’m still not entirely sure why this was happening and whether it was a Windows related issue, a faulty keyboard, or a weird Photoshop bug. I recently had a really annoying issue when I was trying to copy screenshots to the clipboard.
