Shift + Command + 3 not working anymore

Hi there!

Strangely as of yesterday I can't get the screenshot shortcut ( Shift + Command + 3 ) working anymore (it did work quite well for the last years).
Does anyone have an idea how that could be? Or how I could troubleshoot this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions...

Delete this file: com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist

/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.

See if that helps...
