The # key doesn't represent the Windows key. In fact the Windows key isn't available using SendKeys so that shortcut isn't available to you.

Three possible alternatives
1. You can use PrintScreen {PRTSC} to grab the whole screen with SendKeys. Or use Alt+PrintScreen %{PRTSC} to get the active window.
2. If you are allowed to do, download the free AutoHotkey app
3. Create an AutoKeys macro to run Snip and Sketch....IF that is possible with a 'modern app'. Not tested and I think unikely

I did it, but it doesn't take screenshot,
how can I open application by macro, instead of SendKeys?

I found "RunApplication" Macro Action, can you help me to get the path for "Screen Snip & Sketch"
I did not find it in "Program Files (x86)"

The PrintScreen key does take a screenshot. It copies the image to the clipboard from where you can paste it / save it as an image.

I have no idea where Snip and Sketch is located or even what the app program file is actually called.
Its a 'modern' app and won't be in ProgramFiles.
However I can Google "Where is Snip and Sketch located" just as you can.
The first hit was windows 10 - App location for Snip & Sketch - Super User
It sounds like you won't be able to run it from a macro
