I just want to know which button on my keyboard is the screenshot button. They say its supposed to be  PrtScn but mine are pictures not letters. Can anyone help?

Hi @Lorrie69,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Great question! On many HP desktop keyboards, the Print Screen (PrtScn) key might not always be labelled with text; it can sometimes have an icon instead of letters, which can be confusing.

What to Look For

• The Print Screen key is usually located in the top row, near the Insert, Home, or F12 keys.
• If your keyboard uses icons, look for: 
  • A rectangle with a smaller rectangle inside (representing a screen).
  • Sometimes it looks like a camera icon or a screen outline.

How to Take a Screenshot in Windows 11

• PrtScn key alone: Captures the entire screen and copies it to the clipboard.
  (Paste into Paint or Word using Ctrl + V.)
• Windows + PrtScn: Captures the entire screen and saves it automatically in Pictures → Screenshots.
• Alt + PrtScn: Captures the active window only.
• Windows + Shift + S: Opens Snipping Tool for custom selection.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
