There are several ways to take a screenshot on a Windows 10 PC. Here are some methods you can try:
1. Press the "Print Screen" (PrtScn) button on your keyboard. This will capture a screenshot of your entire screen. You won't see any immediate notification, but the screenshot will be saved to your clipboard.
2. Press the "Windows key + Print Screen" together. This will capture a screenshot of your entire screen and automatically save it as an image file in the "Screenshots" folder located in your "Pictures" directory.
3. Press the "Alt + Print Screen" together. This will capture a screenshot of the active window you are currently using. The screenshot will be saved to your clipboard.
4. If you have the Snipping Tool application installed, you can open it from the Start menu and use it to capture screenshots of specific portions of your screen.
5. Use the "Windows key + Shift + S" shortcut. This opens the built-in snipping tool called "Snip & Sketch" (previously known as "Snipping Tool" in older versions of Windows). It allows you to select a specific area of your screen to capture and saves it to your clipboard.
6. With the Windows 10 October 2018 Update (version 1809) or later, you can use the shortcut "Windows key + Shift + S" to directly capture a screenshot of a specific portion of the screen, bypassing the Snip & Sketch tool.
Remember, screenshots taken using the above methods are usually saved to your clipboard or the "Screenshots" folder in the "Pictures" directory. You can then paste the captured screenshot into an image editing program or document using the "Ctrl + V" shortcut.
