How do I screenshot on Windows 11?

Since well before Windows 11, you’ve been able to snap a screenshot with the press of a single key: PrtSC. Some keyboards spell it out to the full Print Screen. Tap this key to copy the full desktop image to the clipboard. Then paste the image into any app that accepts pasted images, such as Paint, Paint 3D, or Adobe Photoshop.

If you just want to capture just the currently active application window, add the Alt key, for Alt-PrtSc. Just as with the whole-screen capture operation, using this key combo saves the current window to the clipboard, and from there you can paste it into an imaging application.

There are several ways to take a screenshot on a Windows 11 computer:
 

1. Press the "Windows key + PrtScn" keys on your keyboard. This will save a screenshot
of your entire screen to the "Screenshots" folder in your "Pictures" library.
 

2. Press the "Windows key + Shift + S" keys on your keyboard. This will open the snipping
tool, which allows you to take a screenshot of a specific area of your screen.
 

3. Use the "Print Screen" key on your keyboard. This will save a screenshot of your entire
screen to your clipboard, which you can then paste into an image editing program or
document.
 

4. Use the snipping tool. To open the snipping tool, search for "snipping tool" in the start
menu and click on the result. With the snipping tool, you can take a screenshot of a
specific area of your screen and save it as an image file.
 

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
