Why when I screenshot it says system ui has stopped?

[Android Central Question]

When I press home + power buttons together it shows 'Unfortunately System UI has stopped' and I click 'ok' after this it shows up again and again for at leat 5 times and I don't understand why. I've also tried the palm gesture but this also fails.

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone do you have? I assume it's a Samsung, but which model?

Welcome.

Try a Cache Partition wipe. If no go, try Safe Mode. If still no go, we shall have to think harder - which, don’t worry, we can.

Done the partition wipe, tried removing google and the google search bar, tried UI repair apps. Nothing has worked so far.
