Hi.  Check Evernote > Tools > Options > Keyboard Shortcuts.  Has the selection changed?  Try File > Exiting Evernote and restart your device.  Log back in - is this still an issue?

If so,  try changing the shortcut to something else temporarily,  and then back...

Win+Shift+S has been usurped by the Windows Snipping Tool. Since they register first, we lose. The only workaround is to change the assigned shortcut (we have an open bug to pick a different key combo). I have not figured out a way (as a user!) to turn off Snipper...

Oh, that happened as part of the Windows Creators Update

MS kneecapped you again?? Bummer...

Hmmn.  I remember Snipper was left out of one version of Windows and had to be downloaded separately if you wanted it - any chance to uninstall it / disable it completely?

Yeah, I found that link, too. That should prevent the Snipper from running, but I don't know that it will return the availability of the Win+Shift+S hotkey; I haven't tried it myself.

Me either.  Was hoping someone (else) might have tested it out.  It's not critical for me - I use a couple of other snipping tools anyway and changing the default shortcut is not an issue.

Just disable the snipping tool and it didn't work!

In the end I changed the OneNote screen clipping shortkey:

and it worked.
