You can also setup the printscreen button to take a screen clipping using 'Snip and Sketch' when you press it..

[@aleeza3001]

What if you're using a tablet or two in one laptop? Windows 10 used to have an option by sliding from the right edge of the screen but now that only pulls out the calendar.

[@tomgarrett3480]

Thank you so much!
To capture photos from CZcams videos, I use a small free prog SnapaShot.

[@june4th]

ty so much

[@selohcin]

This video doesn't fix the problem of pressing WIN+PRT SCR and then Windows sending the screenshot to the clipboard and not to the Screenshots folder. Argh, it's so frustrating! I just want to press a key and have it save the screenshot automatically!

[@mdgolamkibriashiplu9778]

Thank you sir

[@jayfucious]

You can also set up Snip and Sketch so that pressing the Print Screen button twice, it’ll automatically go into rectangle snip and copies it into clipboard. You can then paste it virtually anywhere

[@elainebesa8132]

How to set it up?

[@selohcin]

How do you set that up? I don't see the option anywhere.

[@jayfucious]

@@selohcin I went back to Windows 10 but if you open Snip & Sketch > three dots on top right > settings > "Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping" > click Yes when it asks you to switch apps > scroll down to the bottom in the new window and enable the toggle under "Print Screen shortcut".
For me anyways, when I press the print screen button once, it'll allow me to rectangle snip or full screen and it goes into the clipboard. I can save the screen shot to a file by going into the Notifications on the bottom right of the taskbar.

[@raquelwelch2097]

How do you snip an entire page? The snip feature does not allow the arrow down button to move. You'll have to snip in sections.

[@mohamedriad8899]

Very nice

[@coronaklledmebot4856]

thanks dad 🙏

[@everend_xyz]

How do I just do it same way on Mac? It's just shift+windows+s for full screen means I have to manually choose full screen each time instead of have a series of full screen captures on the go as a video play for example

[@taughtup6418]

What would be the best way to take a screenshot of the windows 11 login screen. A lot of these tips are great for when your profile has loaded, but am struggling to get the login page and have it save in my account.

[@expiredoj9932]

Every time I try to capture the screen using either prtsc or window+shift+s, it has me choose which mode. only when i select the mode, it will capture and save. It is really inconvenient to have to choose each time, especially when it is only there for a short period of time, like a slide presentation. Is there a way to select a mode as default and will save automatically, instead of having to select every single time?

[@thedduck]

Here's an idea, and I think this is win 11 feature: how to use/setup systemwide secure DNS (DoH/DoT) natively on Windows 11.

[@cnethowto]

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it.

How can I set up the snipping tool so that it saves automatically after the screenshot of a portion of the screen has been taken?

[@GhislainLeduc]

Unfortunately, SHIFT - Windows - S doesn't work for me, only half of my screen darks out... and I cannot do a screenshot beyond that section... very strange...

[@kathykashmaier2841]

I did something? that made the save as part of the snipping tool dialog disappear. How to get it back?

Is it impossible these days to screenshot CZcams in Windows 11? I get the entire desktop with PRTSC but the YT window is blank.

Is there a way to take a scrolling screenshot

[@timothydrew993]

Good tips. Installed Windows 11, snipping tool just does not work. Suggested fix also just does not work. Pain in the arse.

[@johnjoshuaredondo469]

This is so relatable!!
I can't use the snip and sketch anymore as he shows it. Already contacted MS Support but they told me to reinstall windows 11 again, done as told but it wont work. What a hassle.

[@APDagaDumpBox-Official]

Win + PrtSc is not working for me to take the screenshot and save it to the file. instead instead it's giving 4 options at the top of the screen in windows 11
