Unless the game is play in a windows. Read the game manual to see what key to use to take a screenshot.

You dont need to press the Windows key, just the print screen button. I have noticed in some games when trying to take a screenshot I just get a black picture when I paste it into paint. Is this happening with all your games or just a few?

If you are using Steam, F12 takes a screenshot.
Otherwise I use FRAPS.

However the best way to take screenshot (for me) is to use Nvidia Ansel. But not many games support it and you need to know Photoshop (or something like it) to process the RAW image file. The color depth is HDR and you can set it to be any super high resolution you want. I usually take Ansel photos at 8K and resize it down to 1080p.
