How are you attempting to trigger a screenshot?

Perhaps you are using the iPadOS corner-swipe gesture? If so, having updated to iPadOS17, this may need to be reset:

Settings > General > Gestures > 

  • Allow Finger Swipe from Corner - set to OFF - then set to ON
  • Left | Right Corner Swipe - select Screenshot for one, other or both gestures

How are you trying to take a screenshot? If you are using the Volume Up + Side button method it should still take a screenshot with no issues. If you are trying to use gestures such as from the corner of your iPad, then you need to make sure these are turned on. When I updated from iPadOS 16 to iPadOS 17, it defaulted them off with my finger, I could still use the pencil, but if I tried to do it with my finger it was off. To turn this on you need to go to Settings > Multitasking & Gestures > and in the bottom of that list you’ll see “Swipe Finger from Corner”. Turn this on and you’ll then get options as to what you want them to do when you swipe from the corner with your finger.
