More precise screenshots
Windows comes with screen capture software installed, as well. It's called the Snipping Tool and it's your best bet if you need more precise screen captures of only specific parts of your screen.
Click the Start button, start type "snipping tool" and click on the app to open it. To capture an open window, click the drop down menu beside New, select Window snip and click on any window .Everything visible within the borders of that window including other windows that overlap it will be captured and availale to edit, annotate, share or save as an image within the Snipping Tool app.
Also, you can use the Snipping Tool to select a custom portion of the screen. Click the dropdown beside New and select Free form snip or Rectangular Snip. Click once and hold to initiate the capture, drag until you've selected the entire area you want to capture and release to finish.
The default method of taking screenshots in Windows 10 is unsightly. Use these tips to take faster and more
better screenshots without the need for the other app.
Using Windows, We'd think screenshots is simple. There is a button dedicated to this on almost every keyboard called the Print Screen Key(brief as PrtSc or PrtScn).
Pressing this key captures the entire screen or multiple screens if you use more than one monitor and copies it to the clipboard. But to save that screenshot. We need to paste it into Paint, Where we can then crop and edit the screenshot and save it as an image.
Here are easier and faster ways to grab your screen in Windows. And no it doesn't require one of those expensive apps. Here's how we can do it Without installing a new program.
Modifier Keys:-
With, Windows 10 a new screen capture hotkey combination was introduced. Holding the Windows Key and pressing the Print Screen button will save a screenshot as an image, removing the need to paste the capture into paint to save it manually.
By default, these captures will be saved at
This PC>>Pictures>>Screenshots
The problem is that this still captures the entire display including a second monitor if you have one. If you want to capture just a single open window without everything else, hold Alt.while pressing the PrtSc button. This captures the current active window, so make sure to click inside the windows we want to capture before pressing the key combination.
Sadly, this doesn't work with the windows modifier key. Pressing Windows+Alt+Prtsc doesn't do anything at all. So when we use the Alt+PrtSc hotkey, we will still need to paste the capture into Paint and save it.
Some other way work around.
