Some Nintendo Switch owners on Reddit and the Nintendo Support page are reporting that their consoles are taking screenshots all by themselves. The issue even arose on a recent streaming session for Minecraft not too long ago.
A common denominator is that this weird behaviour is setting in after they install Minecraft. Personally, mine has a habit of crashing as of late but, like this ‘glitch, a simple press and hold of the power button for 12 seconds performs a hard reset. Resetting the console in this way seems to be working so if you’re encountering problems then it may be worth trying this method.
Have you had this problem with your Switch? Let me know below.
Can you investigate about this->

I checked mine and there’s a small scratch…
Can you upload a picture of yours please?
I don’t have to check mine.
What colour is that joycon?!?
I forgot to post a picture of my console…

}{ If people had PC’s… They wouldn’t be experiencing this issue… }{
||Obviously not, they would experience far worse problems instead…||

}{ Admittedly, joyous overload has been a bit of a problem as of late… but I don’t consider this to be worse than random screenshots… }{
||There are at least 100 more problems for them to deal with…||
Confirmed! I have a PC and my switch has none of these issues!
Your evilness, they’d at least be experiencing superiority complex issues…
Why just why I could see this if it was a major problem but seriously it takes random pictures you got to be kidding me it must be a slow news day for nintenmau5
If the problem persists over a long period of time your Switch would be rammed full of useless screenshots. If I were reading a Nintendo News website, I’d hope to be informed.
I don’t know since you can save a lot of photos on the switch
That’s right. Which, in turn, gives even more space for us useless pictures…
It took Nintendo nearly a year to address the 3DS screen-scratch issue. until then, I’d look for articles like this, addressing the issue until enough people spoke out and Nintendo couldn’t ignore it anymore, admitting a design and material defect.
You done the right thing reporting on it, and I think most of us here would agree!
If my Switch is doing shit that it shouldn’t be doing, I want to know.
That’s weird.
Never had this problem though
…yet.
I don’t have that problem. So, I’m good.
I just got Minecraft today. Haven’t encountered it yet.
Good
Dude, we know it’s you. you’re using the same icon.
Well i think is not all problem….
When i finished use minecraft on my nintendo switch i put Just Dance 2017 and started to appear the main menu of the switch in the middle of the song …. I never press the menu button but nose …. maybe another glitch the minecraft
I don’t have that problem. So, I’m good.
Hey Sonic. I have a question. Do you have this problem with your switch?
I just told you why
ah, cool. my bad.
Microsoft spying on the competition I see.
My Switch actually kept randomly going to the home menu yesterday after installing Minecraft… But it hasn’t done it today at all. Maybe because I fully power off my switch at the end of every day.
The NSA is at it again!
And Minecraft caused this?…. OMG!!! Microsoft has contaminated the Switch with Xbot code!!!
I think with how many Switches there are now in the wild, if this were a wide spread problem we would know. Sounds like Minecraft is glitched a bit.
The only random screenshots I’ve had is when I use the pro controller and go to hit the map button in botw and accidentally hit the capture button instead lol
Send the control back! sounds like it’s defective! :P
