Introduction

This tutorial will guide you through four different methods to take screenshots in Windows 10 without using any third-party applications. Whether you need to capture a specific window, the entire screen, or a selected area, these keyboard shortcuts will help you efficiently create screenshots.

Step 1: Using the Print Screen Key

  1. Capture the Entire Screen

    • Press the PrtScn key on your keyboard.
    • This action captures the entire screen and copies it to your clipboard.
    • To save the screenshot, open an image editing program (like Paint) and press Ctrl + V to paste.
    • Save the image by clicking on File > Save As.
  2. Capture Only the Active Window

    • Click on the window you want to capture.
    • Press Alt + PrtScn.
    • Similar to the previous method, this captures only the active window and copies it to your clipboard. Use the same process in an image editor to save the screenshot.

Step 2: Using Windows Key Shortcuts

  1. Capture the Entire Screen and Save Automatically

    • Press Windows + PrtScn.
    • Your screen will dim momentarily, indicating that a screenshot has been taken.
    • The screenshot will be automatically saved in the Screenshots folder within your Pictures library.
  2. Capture a Selected Area

    • Press Windows + Shift + S.
    • This will dim the screen and display a crosshair cursor.
    • Click and drag to select the area you want to capture.
    • The screenshot will be copied to your clipboard. You can paste it into an image editor or document using Ctrl + V.

Step 3: Using the Snipping Tool

  1. Open the Snipping Tool

    • Search for “Snipping Tool” in the Start menu and open the application.
    • Click on New to start a new snip.
  2. Choose the Snip Type

    • Select from the following options:
      • Free-form Snip: Draw any shape around an object.
      • Rectangular Snip: Drag the cursor around the area you want to capture.
      • Window Snip: Choose a specific window to capture.
      • Full-screen Snip: Capture the entire screen.
  3. Edit and Save the Screenshot

    • After capturing, you can annotate the screenshot if needed.
    • Save it by clicking on File > Save As.

Step 4: Using the Snip & Sketch Tool

  1. Open Snip & Sketch

    • Press Windows + Shift + S to open the Snip & Sketch tool directly.
    • Select the type of snip you want to make (rectangular, free-form, window, or full-screen).
  2. Access the Captured Snip

    • After capturing, a notification will appear. Click on it to open the screenshot in the Snip & Sketch app.
    • Here you can annotate, crop, or save the image.
