screenshot not working in Ventura with Macbook Pro

When I try to use Shift + Command + 3 or Shift + Command + 4, my MacBook Pro doesn't respond. I tried Trece1's suggestion to safe reboot. This fixed the cut and paste shortcuts, but did nothing to fix the screenshot commands. I've recently updated to Ventura, the problem is still there. Any ideas? Thanks

screenshot app not working with ventura Hi all, I just finished upgrading my MacBook Pro from macOS Big Sur to Ventura. Everything seems working except the screenshot app. That doesn't start up, no clue what to do. Anyone that knows what is going on? Thanks in advance for helping me out. Greets, Dany

Updated to Ventura on MacBook. Now Screenshots does not work This morning I updated MacBookPro to Ventura. Which went fine. Except that now Screenshots do not appear on the desktop any more. They were working fine yesterday. Following advice I have read, here and elsewhere, I have tried Safe Boot and I have checked that all the options in Preferences are on and I have clicked Restore Defaults. I have also thrown out the Preference file from the Library. Nothing seems able to bring Screenshots back.

When did screenshot with shift-command-4 stop working? 10.15.7 Catalina running - yes it is old... due to the WGA/SAG strike, I have not been able to get work and my industry has flooded the Atlanta job market. getting a new laptop was in the plans for 2023... As of a few days ago, I have been unable to screenshot anything on my Macbook - web pages to my own desktop. The cursor shows up, the click/capture sound is made ... nothing.. no preview, nothing in recents or download or desktop... what happened?

is ir possible they are just being sent to a location you do not expect?

you can use the "shift-command-5" keyboard shortcut to bring up the recording controls, and then choose "options".

and then in those options, check the "save to" location to see where they are being sent.
