      Description:-

      The Qt ScreenCapture example, designed to capture the screen content, encounters a critical issue preventing it from fulfilling its intended functionality. Upon running the application, an error is thrown, stating "failed to grab Screen content."

      Steps to Reproduce:

      Expected Behavior:

      The application should successfully capture the screen content without any errors.

      The application throws an error message: "failed to grab Screen content" immediately upon execution, indicating a failure to capture the screen content.
