Pressing F12 closes my games

[Ganubys]

Hello pressing F12 usually takes a screenshot but now when I press F12 it closes the game, the only change I have made tro my PC is to install iCUE the profram for my Corsair STRAFE MK.2 keyboard, any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Did you check the default keybinds for iCUE?

Go to Steam button(on the up left corner, the first of the left) and find settings and go to IN GAME (the third option; if you cannot find it)

And you will see some of the "important" codes(screenshot and Steam Bar)

thanks I found it and verified is still F12 so it most be something with the iCUE settings then

[ReBoot]

Perform a clean boot[support.microsoft.com]. While the safe mode is my favorite, it's a ♥♥♥♥♥ to work with for game troubleshooting (without the graphics driver loaded, y'know). A clean boot is somewhat more effort, but it's the next best way to ensure no background crap interferes (uninstalling something often enough doesn't actually get rid of it as programmers can be amoral ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ leaving remains of their stuff on your system).

Alternatively, reinstall that iCue (so you have it proper) but check it's configuration. If that thing isn't an utter piece of ♥♥♥♥, there's a way to tell it to not do anything fancy except forwarding F12 to the underlying program the way Windows would have done it all by itself.

I found out what was causing it on my end, windows game bar, when you turn it on it forces games to close when you hit f12.

Had the same issue, my fix was Razer had F12 as a macro to alt tab.
