by James B. software

It might be possible that you do not have a ‘Print Screen’ key on the keyboard of yours. So you need to bring up any other way to capture the Windows screenshot. We can’t neglect the fact that the standard way of tapping on Print Screen, putting the picture in Paint, is a very slow process as compared to the rest of the ways. To know the best ways of taking a screenshot by not even pressing on Print Screen, read through the blog.

Using Snip as well as Sketch or Snipping Tool

You might be aware that each of the latest version of the Windows device comes up with an in-built screenshot feature known as the Snipping Tool. With the help of it, you shall be able to capture any image of the complete display, single Windows, and square areas.

  1. You only need to launch the Start menu.
  2. Then, find the snipping for beginning the use of that.
  3. For reaching out to it quickly, you do have the option of putting it to the Taskbar.

For the Windows 10 users:

Prefer using the Snip and Sketch utility. For launching it, you need to put the combination of Windows + Shift + S for launching the screenshot wherever you wish.

Installing a Third-Party Screenshot Application

You need to get a good Screenshot application as well as require changing its keyboard shortcut to that you wish to have. This gives you more management power.

Opening the on-screen keyboard

  1. Go to the on-screen keyboard by pressing ‘on-screen’ situated in the Start as well as opening the utility. Note that this shall launch a keyboard into a normal application window.
  2. Next, press the PrtScn button. It will be situated in the Right-hand part. Note that the device of yours shall behave similarly like you would have tapped on the Print Screen key on the keyboard of yours.

Remapping any other button to Print Screen

Note that there are particular tools that you can use for remapping keys in Windows. For instance, SharpKeys. For using it, the step that should be taken by you is changing the key of the keyboard of yours, which you don’t use. It can be Power or else Medial Play to a makeshift Print Screen button.

Do you prefer ‘Print Screen’ for capturing Screenshots on your device?

Going for any other alternate way is less time-consuming and simpler instead of pasting to the Paint. So try out one of the methods mentioned above and see the difference all by yours.
