I’ve been using a Nokia Lumia 635 since 3 months and was able to take screenshots multiple times. But for the past week or so have been unable to take more than one picture. I have ample space on my SD card. It works only if I move the picture and delete the screenshot folder. But then only once. Please tell me what I can do?
If you have updated firmware or software recently it must have changed.
