Random screenshots in dropbox

Question

Screenshots are being taken randomly without me initiating the screenshot. How can this happen?

1. I have windows 10 you may have some app that is taking screenshots saving them to your Pictures dir and Dropbox syncs them. 2. You could accidentally be hitting the print screen key; the same thing happens above. 3. Print screen key could be sticky or have dirt in it. 4. You have a rootkit which is giving access to a remote attacker. 5. You have some type of backup software that takes screenshots; then the same thing as #1 & #2. 6. Some other cause best known to God & Gates.
