Why won’t my Samsung S23 take a screenshot?

In the “Apps”, select the more options icon that will appear in the top right corner.
Now select the “Special access” option.
Tap on the “All files access” option. You can see what apps have the permissions.
Enable the “Samsung capture” option from it to let your phone take the screenshot.
