There are certain apps that have been coded to not allow screenshots for security reasons. My bank has the same thing.

Have you tried force closing and clearing cache on the bank app? If that doesn't work you can always try clearing data or uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

@mlpd63 Try looking at what apps have Device admin properties. Open the phone settings -> Security and privacy -> More security settings -> Device admin apps.

This happened to me and I ended up buying a new phone. It happened because my devices are hacked. I knew this and I has set notifications to a loud buzz whenever there was a download.

That night at 1am the buzz woke me up to the downloads, I took screenshots and by the next night I had lost the ability to take screen shots or set sound notifications of any kind. I would get a pop up saying the administrator had policy disallowing, it was my own phone - there should not have been any administrator. I have all the screenshots still on my hacked phone.

@mlpd63 Have you tried booting in safe mode and then trying to take a screenshot while in safe mode?
