I’m trying disable print screen key function in the server. Please suggest some solution.

I tried Regedit in keyboard layout control, working on the desktop but not on the server.

    Disabling the print screen functionality in Windows Server 2016 can be approached through various methods, although completely preventing it might be challenging as it’s deeply ingrained in the operating system’s functionality. However, you can employ certain measures to mitigate or limit its use:

    • Group Policy: Utilize the Group Policy Editor to restrict access to the Snipping Tool or disable the use of Print Screen.
      Press Win + R, type gpedit.msc, and hit Enter to open the Group Policy Editor.
      Navigate to: User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System.
      You might find options such as “Prevent access to the Snipping Tool” or “Prevent access to registry editing tools” that can restrict access to tools that capture screenshots.

    • Third-Party Software: Explore third-party software that offers more granular control over user permissions and actions. Some endpoint security solutions provide screen capture protection.

    • Security Software Policies: Some security software suites might offer settings to restrict or monitor the use of screenshot functionalities.

    • Scripting or Custom Solutions: Employ custom scripts or software development to restrict specific keyboard shortcuts or functionalities. However, this requires technical expertise. An example I found can be seen here on stackoverflow.

    ​

    Remember, while these methods can limit the ability to take screenshots, determined users might find workarounds. Consider a combination of methods and evaluate their effectiveness based on your specific security needs.
