I can't change my screenshot key, but I could make it so that it is attached to no key.
I recently got N++, and decided I should change my screenshot key, as it was a key needed in the menus (PageDown). So I opened the options menu for steam and did the first step in changing it: Press the x button on what key it is. After this, when I clicked on the box to change the key, it wouldn't do a thing. I disabled my steam skin to be sure that yes, it is a part of the beta, and not my skin.

EDIT: Forgot OS, Windows 8.1

EDIT 2: Since people keep commenting, I will say I figured out the issue: PrintScreen doesn't work as a key for making screenshots.

Works fine for me as I shift through keys in [Screenshot shortcut key] -menu.

Refresh the Steam client files:

I'm on Windows 10 Home Anniversary Edition x64 and the latest Steam client beta.

I can't see that link, and what do you mean "shift through keys?"

Oh. Well TIL PrintScreen doesn't work as a screenshot key, but other things do.

Update Windows (if needed), then perform an In-place upgrade of Steam (install, uninstall, and reinstall again.)

You can back up your skins and games.

That first install isn't redundant, either; it makes sure that you HAVE the right files & registry keys so that Windows gets it all with the uninstallation process (it doesn't touch games or skins that're already there!)

I figured it out, apparently just PrintScreen can't be used.

I could not visit this page either but it is Updated . However, it is updated to "Clear download cache" in stead of the "Refresh Your Steam Files" it used to be. Therefore the article is not suitable for your issue anymore.

(Thank you Steam, finaly kb articles get updates. Some have instructions for Windows 98, i believe there's even 1 or 2 with instructions for Windows 95.
