@Tom3804,

Welcome to our HP Community forum!

For users whose keyboards lack a dedicated "Print Screen" (PrtScn) button, they can still capture screenshots in Windows 11 using alternative methods:

Method 1: Use the Windows Snipping Tool

1. Press Windows + Shift + S:
   • This will open the Snipping Tool overlay.
   • Choose a snip mode (Rectangular, Freeform, Window, or Fullscreen) by selecting from the toolbar.
   • The screenshot will be copied to the clipboard.
2. Paste the screenshot into an application (e.g., Paint, Word, or an email) using Ctrl + V.

 

Method 2: Use On-Screen Keyboard

1. Search for "On-Screen Keyboard" in the Windows search bar and open it.
2. Use the virtual "PrtScn" button on the on-screen keyboard to take a screenshot.

 

Method 3: Use the Windows + Volume Down Keys

• On some desktops and laptops, pressing Windows + Volume Down takes a full-screen screenshot and saves it directly to the Screenshots folder in Pictures.

 

Method 4: Snipping Tool App

1. Open the Snipping Tool by searching for it in the Windows search bar.
2. Click "New" to take a screenshot and save it directly.

Any of these methods should help you to capture screenshots without needing a physical "Print Screen" button!
