Pressing the down arrow on my keyboard takes a screenshot. How to stop this from occuring?

Somehow, over the last day or two, on my MacBook Pro with macOS Monterey, it started taking screenshots every time I press the down arrow on the keyboard. I'm not sure how or why this started but I really need to figure out how to get it to stop... because I need to use the down arrow key for the usual down arrow key operations. Any suggestions?

Check System Preferences > Keyboard > Screenshots and see if any shortcuts have changed to the down arrow.


Also, if you have any keyboard mapping software installed, check to see if it was changed there.
