Need to capture what's on your Windows screen? The 'Print Screen' button is your best friend! But did you know it does more than just one thing?
Pressing 'Print Screen' (sometimes labeled 'PrtScn') copies your entire screen to the clipboard. Open an image editor like Paint (yes, it's still useful!), paste (Ctrl+V), and save your screenshot.
Want to capture just one window? Select the window and press 'Alt + Print Screen'. Only that window will be copied to the clipboard.
Windows 10 and 11 offer an even easier way! Press 'Windows Key + Shift + S' to activate the Snipping Tool. This allows you to drag a rectangle around the area you want to capture, which is then copied to your clipboard.
Finally, pressing 'Windows Key + Print Screen' instantly saves a screenshot to your Pictures > Screenshots folder.
So, next time you need to grab a screenshot on Windows, remember these handy tips!
