screenshot shortcuts won't work after upgrade to sequoia

I upgraded from Ventura to Sequoia 15.5 and the screenshot shortcuts won't work any longer. I checked the system settings keyboard shortcuts and everything is turned on. I don't have any third party software running that would affect or allow screenshots. I can still run full screen screenshot from the launchpad.


iMac 24″, macOS 15.5

I will say third-party sync software like: OneDrive, GoogleDrive, BackBlaze, DropBox or iCloud Drive can usurp screenshots

You identified the culprits for me! OneDrive (which I don't use), DropBox, and iCloud Drive are all installed with the latter two being used on occasion. Guess it's launchpad for me and no shortcuts.


For those third party you can make changes to those app settings to not usurp screenshots,

and restore your s screenshot shortcut options


if in doubt search the developers website or contact their: Support/Help/FAQ/Known issues...
