it would seem taking screenshots in
windows is simple there's a button
dedicated to this on almost every
keyboard called the Print Screen key
pressing this key captures the entire
screen or multiple screens if you have
more than one monitor and it copies it
to the clipboard while this method works
it's the old-school way it requires you
to pace the screen capture into paint
just to save it fortunately there are
easier and faster ways to grab your
screen in Windows here's how a new
screen capture hotkey combination was
introduced with Windows 10 holding the
Windows key and pressing the Print
Screen button will instantly save a
screenshot as an image you can find
these screen captures under this PC
slash pictures slash screenshots the
problem is this still captures the
entire display including a second screen
if you have one if you want to capture
just a single open window without
everything else
hold alt while pressing the Print Screen
button this captures just the current
active window sadly with this hotkey you
will still need to paste the capture
into paint to save it but of course
there's a workaround if you use
Microsoft's onedrive which comes
pre-installed you can opt to have all
screen captures saved to your cloud
storage automatically and onedrive you
can find this under settings autosave
and then check the box beside
automatically save screenshots that
capture to onedrive you can find all
screen captures under onedrive slash
pictures / screenshots Dropbox for
windows also has a similar feature if
you prefer it instead windows also comes
with a fairly robust screen capture tool
installed it's called the snipping tool
and it's your best bet if you need more
precise screen captures click the start
button start typing snipping tool and
click on the app to open it with
snipping tool you can capture an active
window entire screens precise rectangles
or use a free-form select tool you can
capture screenshots on a delay and
annotate them within the snipping tool
as well just click Save when you're
finished to export the capture for other
