Some Switch owners encountering issue with system taking screenshots on its own

Over the past few days, there have been increased reports with one particular issue surrounding Switch. Some users have noticed that the system has been taking screenshots on its own. The screenshot button isn’t being pressed, so this is taking place randomly. You’ll hear the normal click sound when screenshots are being taken, and the unit may even wake up from sleep mode.

Many say that the problem began after installing Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition. However, it can apparently be an issue even when the game isn’t running.

This may sound strange, but the situation seemed to take place when Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition was shown during an official live stream last month. In the video here, you’ll notice that screenshots are being taken after second or so.
