For the past 10 to 15 years or so we make screenshots with the power button and volume down button. This does not work anymore.
Now, I installed a proprietary app called super status bar to circumvent the limitation for now but it has extreme rights.
To me, the solution you linked to, reads as if enable incognito-screenshot has the sole purpose of enabling to take screenshots of browser windows in incognito mode, which may otherwise be disabled. Am I missing something?

Pizzaboy, what is the make, model and OS of the device having this issue?
Same here. No screenshot option with press of power button + volume down button on Pixel 6 Pro. raven-factory-2024040900
It's working here on a Pixel 6 latest release, I assume the hardware buttons themselves work fine otherwise? Are you trying to take a screenshot in the owner profile, or a secondary one?
I tried again to screenshot the home screen with a press of power button + volume down button. This time it worked.
I'm having the same issue on Pixel 8 Pro, latest stable GOS release. It worked fine on my last Grapheme phone, a Pixel 7. But now I cannot trigger the screenshot shortcut, nor the silence shortcut (Power+Vol Up), which also used to work
...nevermind, I rebooted and now both are working. Weird.
hemlockiv of the 3 buttons, choose the square, as if to see all open apps. At the bottom of the screen is a screenshot option
This has been happening frequently to me recently. I always have to restart the device to get back the ability to take screenshots via vol down + power. Pixel 8a, currently on build number 2025011500. If anyone has any further information on how to fix this without having to restarting the device, I would be glad to know.
The phone doesn't even have to be running a long time. It happened to me again on 10 hours uptime after and update today.

Bit of a longshot. Do you have animations disabled?
