Welcome to the HP Community.

 

  How to Take Screenshots in Windows 10

Included in article:

Screenshots with Print Screen

PrtScn saves entire view to clipboard > Open Word (for example) > Paste from clipboard **

Alt + PrtScn saves current window to clipboard **

Windows key + PrtScn saves to C:\Users\AccountName\Pictures\Screenshots\filename.png

 

Windows + Print Screen

 

  • Windows key PrtScn saves to C:\Users\AccountName\Pictures\Screenshots\filename.png

 

If that does not work, try

  • Windows key PrtScn + FN key saves to C:\Users\AccountName\Pictures\Screenshots\filename.png

 

and

 

Oddly (to me, at least, since I don't use Windows Print Screen anyway)

 

Windows key + PrtScn + FN + Alt saves current focus (window) to C:\Users\AccountName\Videos\Captures\filename+date-time.png

 

====================================================

What else?

 

Snip content from the screen

Avoid Screenshots altogether – Capture what you want from the screen.

Create a Snip of the information on the page > save the snipped image as a .jpg file > print that file.

 

Snip – available since Vista!  Check out the “delay” feature in Windows 10
