How to take screenshot on Windows 11 with advanced editing feature?
Windows key + Print Screen is quick, but you can’t select areas, and it auto-saves everything—even the stuff you don’t want. I’d recommend https://www.engadgot.com/take-screenshot-on-windows-pc— it’s much more flexible, lets you capture exactly what you need, and saves you from the extra hassle.
Grayson1345 Windows 11 comes with a lot of shortcuts so you can complete daily tasks very quickly and efficiently. As far as I know, Windows 11 provides at least four different short keys to let you take screenshot on Windows 11 PC or laptop.
How to take screenshot on Windows 11 with short key:
PrtScn (Print Screen): Pressing this key captures the entire screen and copies it to the clipboard. You can then paste the screenshot into an image editor or document.
Windows + PrtScn: Pressing these keys together captures the entire screen and automatically saves the screenshot to the "Screenshots" folder within the "Pictures" library.
Alt + PrtScn: Pressing these keys captures only the currently active window and copies it to the clipboard. This is useful when you want to capture a specific application window without the rest of the desktop.
Windows + Shift + S: Pressing these keys opens the Snipping Tool, allowing you to select a portion of the screen to capture. After making your selection, the screenshot is copied to the clipboard, and you can paste it into an image editor or document.
Note: The editing feature is not as good as third-party Windows 11 screenshot tools!
