How to Take Screenshots in Windows 10


Method One: Take Quick Screenshots with Print Screen (PrtScn)

  1. Press the PrtScn button to copy the screen to the clipboard
  2. Press the Windows+PrtScn buttons on your keyboard to save the screen to a file
  3. Use the built-in Snipping Tool
  4. Use the Game Bar in Windows 10
The Print Screen button on your keyboard can take a screenshot and save it as a file, take a screenshot without saving it as a file, or take a screenshot of only one window (instead of the whole screen). The print screen button may be labeled as “PrtScn,” “PrntScrn,” “Print Scr,” or something similar. On most keyboards, the button is usually found between F12 and Scroll Lock. On laptop keyboards, you may have to press the “Function” or “Fn” key to access the Print Screen feature. When you press the key, it will look like nothing happened, but the screenshot has been saved to your clipboard.

To Save Your Screenshot as a File

Press the “Windows logo key + PrtScn.” If you’re using a tablet, press the “Windows logo button + volume down button.” On some laptops and other devices, you may need to press the “Windows logo key + Ctrl + PrtScn” or “Windows logo key + Fn + PrtScn” keys instead. Check your laptop’s manual for more information.
The screen will dim for a moment, and you will see the screenshot appear as a file in a folder entitled “Screenshots”, inside your default “Pictures” folder. The screenshot is automatically labeled with a number.

You will only see your screen dim if you have the “Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing” turned on in your visual effects settings (System > Advanced system settings > Click the Advanced tab > Click Settings under Performance section).



To Take a Screenshot Without Saving

Press the “PrtScn” key. A screenshot of your display is now copied to the clipboard. Open your favorite image editor, word processor, or other programs you want to use the image in. Choose Edit > Paste to paste the screenshot wherever you like. The dimensions of the image will be the same as your desktop resolution. Note: On some laptops and other devices, you may need to press the “Alt + Fn + PrtScn” keys instead. Check your laptop’s manual for more information.

To Take a Screenshot of Only One Window

Click on the title bar of the window that you want to capture. Press “Alt + PrtScn”. A screenshot of your currently active window will be copied to the clipboard, just as in the last section. Paste it into your favorite image editor or document editor. Note: On some laptops and other devices, you may need to press the “Alt + Fn + PrtScn” keys instead. Check your laptop’s manual for more information.

To Take a Screenshot of Part of Your Screen

Press “Windows + Shift + S”. Your screen will appear grayed out and your mouse cursor will change. Click and drag on your screen to select the part of your screen you want to capture. A screenshot of the screen region you selected will be copied to your clipboard. You can paste it in any application by selecting Edit > Paste or pressing Ctrl + V, just as you’d paste a full-screen shortcut taken with the Print Screen key.
This only works in Windows 10’s Creators Update. On older versions of Windows, this shortcut is part of Microsoft’s OneNote application. With the Creators Update, Microsoft integrated this shortcut into Windows 10 itself.

How To: Why is VirtualBox only showing 32 bit guest versions on my 64 bit host OS?

My Host OS is a 64-bit version of Windows 10, VirtualBox categorically refused to display any 64-bit guest OS in the  Create Virtual Machine  dialog box. This was super annoying because all my ISOs were 64-bit therefore I couldn’t use them until I fixed this problem. Uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox made no observable difference so I booted into the BIOS to see what I could find there. I have a HP Pavilion g6 2231tx.  As a side note, a few months ago I made another idiotic mistake: I enabled a bunch of BIOS passwords to make myself feel  secure  but then forgot how to disable them! Thank God I didn’t enable a  Supervisor Password  or else I would have to replace the system board.  That’s seriously the only way to get around that one; resetting the CMOS won’t fix a forgotten Supervisor password.  Thankfully, I remembered, the Hard Drive password and the Power-On Password, so after surmounting those obstacles, I removed those passwords and tried to see if there was an
