Windows 11 Screenshots Are Corrupted & Unreadable—Fix?

All my screenshots on Windows 11 come out pixelated, gray, or totally corrupted. I use Win+Shift+S and PrtScn—both broken. Tried updating drivers, no luck.

    If you're using any third-party software to capture screenshots previously, kindly uninstall it without having its traces.

    Additionally, I recommend to update display driver.

    This is a frustrating issue, especially since you've already tried updating drivers. The fact that screenshots appear "pixelated, gray, or totally corrupted" suggests something is interfering with how Windows captures and renders images—likely at the system level rather than a simple settings glitch.
