screenshot freezes computer

you can try —A SafeBoot How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies

login an test, reboot and test.



To trouble shoot further you can:


—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support

This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account. 



For me Shift Command 5 —>Options I turn off all the bells and whistles here , see it makes a difference for you:

Take screenshots or screen recordings on Mac - Apple Support



Primarily I use the old simply, reliable:


Shift Command 3

Shift Command 4
