Windows 11 has several built-in ways to take screenshots. Here are the quickest.
1. Snipping Tool shortcut
Press Windows + Shift + S. Drag to select an area. The image is copied to the clipboard and you can click the notification to edit and save it.
2. Print Screen key
Press PrtSc to copy the whole screen. On many PCs, this now opens Snipping Tool instead.
3. Save the full screen automatically
Press Windows + PrtSc. The screen dims briefly and the image is saved in Pictures > Screenshots.
4. Capture the active window
Press Alt + PrtSc to copy only the window you’re using.
5. Record your screen
Open Snipping Tool and switch to the video option to record a part of your screen.
