Summary

How to take screenshots on Windows!

There are four main ways to take screenshots on a Windows PC.
A brief summary is shown in the table below.

Print Screen	Copy full screen to clipboard
Print Screen + Windows key	Takes full screen and saves automatically
Print Screen + alt	Copy a specific window
Windows ＋ shift ＋ S	Copy by specifying a range

You can scroll

Take full screen

There are two ways to take a full screen.

➀ Press
Print Screen ➁ Press Print Screen + Windows key

The difference between the two is whether or not the captured screen is automatically saved.
With method ➀, it will only be copied to the clipboard.

Therefore, you will need to save it yourself afterward.

However, with method ➁, what you take is automatically saved in the "screenshot" of the folder.

Use ➀ if you want to save it in a file different from the "screenshot", and ➁ if you want to save it as it is.

Take only a specific window

The method to shoot only a specific window is "PrintScreen + alt".
You can use this shortcut key to take a screenshot of the frontmost window.

If you are "displaying many windows but want to take only one!", Please use this "PrintScreen + alt".

Take a picture by specifying a range

The method of shooting by specifying the range is "Windows + shift + S".
Use this shortcut key to open an app called "Cut & Sketch" on the screen.
You can then use the mouse to specify the range you want to shoot.

If you want to take a screenshot of only a specific part of the screen, please use this "Windows + shift + S".
You can also take screenshots from the "Cut & Sketch" app without using shortcut keys.

Here's where to save the screenshots!

Some people may be in trouble saying, "I did a screenshot but it wasn't saved."

As mentioned above, most of the screenshots are actually just copied to the clipboard.

Only "Print Screen + Windows key" is saved in the folder as it is.

However, you will have to save the latter one yourself.

Here's how to save a screenshot:

➀ Take a screenshot.

➁ Open the "Paint" app.

➂ Click “Paste”.

➃ Click "File"-> "Save As" in the upper left to complete.

Automatically save to OneDrive

Actually, there is a setting that automatically saves it even if you do not save it yourself.

If you set it to auto-save, it will be automatically saved to OneDrive in the folder when you take a screenshot.

The method of automatic save setting is as follows.

➀ Click the cloud mark (next to the battery mark) on the right side of the taskbar.

➁ Click “Other”.

➂ Click “Settings”.

➃ Check the "Screenshot" item on the "Backup" tab and you're done.

Why you can't take screenshots and what to do

I did it according to the operation, but I think there are times when I can't do it for some reason.

Here are the reasons why it cannot be done and how to deal with it, but if you just want to know how to deal with it, please try the following.

➀ Add fn key (fn + PrintScreen, etc.)

➁ Use "Cut & Sketch"

Let's take a look at each one.

Shortcut key not found

In the first place, some people may not be able to find the shortcut keys introduced above.

Actually, the notation of the key called Print Screen differs depending on the PC.

The notation such as "PrintScreen" or "prt sc", "prt scr" and "Insert prt sc" is a variety

to.

If you don't have PrintScreen, it may be abbreviated, such as prt sc.

Screenshots are prohibited

Screenshots may be banned on some sites in the first place.

Examples are video distribution services such as Netflix and Hulu.

Please note that if you take a screenshot on such a site or app, you will not be able to take it.

If you get a black screen, the site may be banning screenshots.

Try adding the fn key

If you can't press the shortcut key such as PrintScreen, you may be able to take a picture by adding the fn key.

Please try with "fn + PrintScreen" or "fn + PrintScreen + alt".

Especially when PrintScreen has the same key as Insert, it is often possible to shoot by adding fn.

If you can't, use the tool!

If it's not a banned site and you still can't, use the tool.

As I mentioned at the beginning, you can take screenshots without using shortcut keys by using a tool called "Cut & Sketch".

You can take a screenshot by following the steps of "Start"-> "Cut & Sketch"-> "New".

Summary

How was it?
Use the PrintScreen key to take a screenshot on Windows.
If you press it at the same time as the Windows key, it will be saved automatically, which is very convenient.
