Required to block all print screen capabilities

Question

Hi,

I have searched many blogs and forums to figure out how to disable the Print Screen button on the keyboard. Additionally, I need to also block Windows Key + Print Screen and Alt Key + Print Screen.

I have successfully blocked the snipping tool and do not allow employees to install other screen snipping software.

I also tried some third-party software to figure out the value without success.

I have tried this value in Scancode Map key:

(0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x03,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x2A,0xE0,0x37,0xE0,0x00,0x00,0x37,0xE0,0x00,0x00,0x54,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00)

and this value:

(0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x04,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x37,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x54,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00)

Hello

Thank you for posting in Q&A forum.

You could try to modify the registry to do it:

Block Windows Key + Print Screen

• Open Registry Editor as mentioned above.

• Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

• Create a new DWORD value named NoWinKeys and set its value to 1.

Block Alt Key + Print Screen

• Open Registry Editor as mentioned above.

• Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.

• Create a new DWORD value named NoPrintScreen and set its value to 1.

Note: Please back up registry first before you change it.

I hope the information above is helpful.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know.

Best Regards,
