    Hi Ajay,

    I am not sure if this is what you are looking for because it seems the reverse of what you are looking for but....

    Under settings -> Accessibility -> keyboard
    There is an option for "Use the print screen key to open screen capture" you can try toggling that and see.

    I am using Window 11.

    However, unless you have an issue with the windows key, I could not reproduce the scenario you are referring to unless I aslo use the function key (to select print screen as I have a keyboard on which print screen is a function of the instert key) which is right next to the windows key allowing for a misskey scenario.
