You can also find the Snip & Sketch tool listed in the alphabetical list of apps accessed from the Start button as well as in the notification panel where it's listed as Screen snip. Or you can just search for it if you don't commit the keyboard shortcut to memory. (If you're a frequent screenshot taker, we recommend pinning the app to the taskbar.) Either the keyboard shortcut or the notification button will dim your screen and open a tiny menu at the top of your screen that lets you choose which type of screenshot you want to take: rectangular, freeform, window or full-screen. Once you take your screenshot, it will be saved to your clipboard and show up momentarily as a notification in the lower-right corner of your screen. Click the notification to open the screenshot in the Snip & Sketch app to annotate, save or share it. (If you miss the notification, open the notification panel and you'll see it sitting there.)

PC hardware is nice, but it’s not much use without innovative software. I’ve been reviewing software for PCMag since 2008, and I still get a kick out of seeing what's new in video and photo editing software, and how operating systems change over time. I was privileged to byline the cover story of the last print issue of PC Magazine, the Windows 7 review, and I’ve witnessed every Microsoft win and misstep up to the latest Windows 11. Microsoft's desktop operating system has long had numerous options for capturing images from your PC’s screen, perhaps too many. Fortunately, Here are the best ways to take screenshots on your computer in Windows 11. The methods range from long-standing keyboard shortcuts to the more modern and capable tools that let you do things like set timers for the screenshots as well as edit and share them. 1. Use the PrtSc (Print Screen) Key and Paste (Credit: PCMag) Press the PrtSc key (sometimes spelled out as Print Screen) and the full desktop image copies to the clipboard. You then must paste the image into an app that will accept it, such as Paint, Paint 3D, or If you want to capture only the active application window, add the Alt key, for Alt-PrtSc. Using this key combo saves the current window to the clipboard, and from there you must paste it into an imaging application. On Windows 11, the result can be a little strange because the rounded corners are extended to squared-off corners, since image files are always rectangular. 2. Use the PrtSc Key...

Use PrtScn to Screenshot the Whole Screen There are many ways to make screenshots in Windows 11, the most basic being to use the PrtScn (aka PrtSc) button on your keyboard. This captures the entire screen, including multiple displays if you have them, plus all visible windows, the taskbar and Start button, etc. You can then paste the screenshot into any program that supports image pasting. • Rectangular Snip: You simply draw a box which contains what you'd like to capture. You would use this method to essentially screenshot a smaller part of the screen (and ignore the rest). • Freeform Snip: You simply draw a shape which contains what you'd like to capture. This is useful if the rectangular snip is too restrictive to capture what you need. • Window Snip: This allows you to capture the image of an open window. This is identical to the rectangular snip but lets you avoid needing a steady hand to get just that one window; it will automatically screenshot just one window without the taskbar, etc. • Fullscreen Snip: Press to capture the whole screen. It's identical to using PrtScr. To avoid memorizing this shortcut, you can tie it to the PrtSc button so when you press it, this same menu shows up automatically. To do this, open Settings and search for print screen to modify the option called Use the Print Screen key to launch screen snipping. After choosing one of those options, the image will be saved to the clipboard, where you can then paste into an email or some other progra...
