No problems here under Windows in PS CC2017 und PS CC2018.

Do you really select the (correct) eyedropper tool?

And not the 3D eyedropper tool?

Do you really press the left mouse button inside your Photoshop document and hold while moving the cursor outside the Photoshop window?

yes, correct tool selected and left button pressed. am able to select colors within ps document. opened 2017 and just started pressing keys on the keyboard and when print screen is pressed/released, am able to select colors outside of ps normally. this did not work in ps2018. win7(64bit)
