How to take / capture Screenshot in Windows 10 ?

Answer ::            How to take a screenshot of the entire screen in Windows 10

Method 1.

 Step 1::     Press Windows key + Print Screen.

 Step 2::          Now go to the Pictures library on your computer by launching Explorer (Windows key + e) and in the left pane click Pictures.

 Step 3::        Open the Screenshots folder here to find your screenshot saved here with the name Screenshot (NUMBER).

                                      You can also just press Print Screen and open MS Paint. Now press ctrl + v to paste the screenshot in Paint. You can now save it anywhere you like.

Method 2 :

Use Shift+Windows Key+S and Snip & Sketch

After years of using Snagit (see below), this has become my primary screenshot method. Hit the Shift-Windows Key-S keyboard combo, and you have a choice of shooting the full screen, a rectangular selection, a freehand selection, or (new for version 1903) an individual program window. An alternative way to invoke Snip & Sketch is via the Action Center's Screen snip button.

After hitting this keyboard shortcut, you see a small thumbnail panel notification at lower right momentarily that says Snip Saved to Clipboard. Tap this to open the Snip & Sketch window. In this, you can mark up the image with a pen, pencil, highlighter, eraser, ruler, and cropping tool. Then you can save the image to a folder of your choice, or share it using the standard Windows Share menu. That lets you send the image to Instagram, Messenger, Mail, or any other app that accepts the file type. It also lets you send it to a nearby PC with Nearby Sharing enabled.

A couple things I wish Snip & Sketch had are text overlay and basic shapes, including the ever-useful arrow. If you only want to use this tool, you can go into Windows’ Settings app and choose Ease of Access > Keyboard and choose Use the PrtSc Button to Open Screen Snipping. Note that this requires restarting Windows.

Method 3:

How to take a screenshot of the current window only

If you just want to take a screenshot of an app or window you’ve opened, follow these steps:

Click on the app you want to take a screenshot. Make sure it’s in the foreground and not behind other open apps.

Press alt + Print Screen.

Open MS Paint.

Press ctrl + v.

This will paste the screenshot of the open window in Paint. You can save the screenshot anywhere you like.

Method 4:

How to take a screenshot via the Game Bar in Windows 10

If you want another way to take screenshots, follow these steps.

On your Windows 10 PC, press Windows key + G.

Click the Camera button to take a screenshot. Once you open the game bar, you can also do this via Windows + Alt + Print Screen. You’ll see a notification that describes where the screenshot is saved.

How to take a screenshot of a part of the screen in Windows 10

This is where you use the Windows Snipping Tool. Follow these steps to take a screenshot of part of the screen in Windows 10:

Open Snipping Tool. It’s under Start menu > All programs > Accessories. You can also open Start menu and simply use the search box to find it.

Now click the down arrow next to New.

Select Rectangular Snip or Free-form Snip. The former lets you capture a rectangular screenshot and the latter lets you draw any shape on screen and takes a screenshot of that part.

Once you’ve done that, you can use the Snipping tool to annotate the screenshot if needed and save it to your PC.
