New update broke Screenshot Notification disable option
The new update broke the in-game overlay functionality to disable screenshot notifications. It simply no longer works. Whether it's toggled off or on, it will always display a screenshot notification in the bottom right corner.

Anyone know of a workaround?

*My current solution until it is fixed:

So the best option I've found is using Windows Key+Print Screen. You will need to disable the dimming animation. You can do this by doing the following:
  • Do a Windows search for and access "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows." Just typing in "performance" also brings it up. Clicking it will then open Performance Options.
  • Under the Visual Effects tab, you will need to uncheck the "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing". This function removes the dimming that occurs when taking screenshots (for some reason).

Now when you hold the Windows key and press the Print Screen key, it should just be saved with no apparent notification. This is not completely ideal, as it saves all of your monitors, but it works well. On the bright side, it's immediate and doesn't lag when using.

The screenshots will be saved in User\\Pictures\Screenshots.

*I am using Windows 10. Not sure if it's the same for 11.

**Oh and if you want to change the location of the screenshots, just right click the folder and select the "Location" tab. Then press the "Move" button to change where they save.

I have the Fn key. O.o I have to use Fn key with top keys for sound, brightness, etc. Laptop Alienware Area 51. O.o My specs are in my "about me" if needed, though dates and versions have not been updated.

My bet is that is probably why? TY for the tip~! Sweet :D I like shortcuts~! I often use them when I can remember the key. If I hit fn and f6, it turns off my windows key all together so I have to remember that one. F6 is next to sound so I sometimes hit it on accident.

I'm thinking it is because of my keyboard/laptop function key.

I wound up resorting back to the old version of steam :D In steam shortcut properties,
add -vgui after the exe"
near the top (Target) and you can use the old version again. Then restart steam :)

Nope. I stated there was nothing talking about screenshot notifications anymore in the settings and that includes the post you made with the screenshot. I'm pretty sure I did get the update, cuz it looks different, but once again, no screenshot notification option.
I see an area in interface, "taskbar preferences" that has screenshots option for destinations to display. Is that what you mean?

Also, the options for "in game" has screenshot options. That's where I originally found it but did not know there was the destinations to display section. That new? I'm trying it out now X FINGERS~! GL E1 ♥

IT WORKS~! TYTYTY I'll try to share a few awards. Thanks for your efforts and answers ♥

Now to adjust to the new UI lol O.o

Original Poster, you may wanna update the answer. I no longer have the most efficient answer for the question now.

There do seem to be 2 SS options and if you disable both, no more issues with SS notification.

I Drop out of the Beta cause of this problem, sad to see not been fixed at all. Since I love to take a lot of screenshots it's annoying to see it pop up in streaming or any recordings of my game play.

That's exactly my issue. Until they fix it, I'm going to have to try to find third party options to take screenshots. The fact that it's been known about since the beta and not yet fixed in the final release gives me unfortunate worries that a fix won't be anytime soon.

Thank you! I didn't see those, cuz they weren't in notifications lol
You're welcome Johnker. It worked for me so I presume it worked for you, also? :D That's awesome~! It's always nice to have a fix for things that aren't working as expected ♥

I still am not used to the new UI. It's slower, and I got an error the other day with a game's screenshots. I believe the reason is because I have so many screenshots for that game that it threw an error when I tried to scroll. I do have a LOT of SS in there. A LOT. lol Usually it would just lag for a few seconds, and then catch up but this time it gave an error and I had to refresh it.

Heads up, still much to get used to. O.o

But I'm happy to help and thankful to all of those helping and those whom are thankful.
Warm regards and best of luck with the new UI~! ♥
