Windows 10: How do I get a screenshot of start menu?

I would like to get a screen shot of the start menu. I tried it with the Snipping Tool but when I click on the Snipping Tool, the start menu closes. I have build 10074.

:)

 

How do I get screenshot function back?

Right click OneDrive in the Notification area of the Taskbar

Click Settings

Click Auto Save tab

Uncheck - automatically save screenshots I capture to OneDrive.

 

How do I get screenshot function back?

As a workaround (this is not a solution), you can use Windows Key (or ALT) + Print Screen Key to capture print screen. ALT+Fn+Print Screen also works. This way you will be able to retain Onedrive functionality also (if Onedrive is the cause)

 

Press PrtScn with Start open, then open Paint and press CTRL+V to paste the screenshot in. Then crop it to suit.

 

Screenpresso is good for stuff like that Screenpresso: The Ultimate Screen Capture Tool for Windows

 

• Run snipping tool ( If screen appears grayed out, press ESC, if not continue step 2.)
• Click to open the start menu
• Hold CTRL and press print Screen. Screen will appear grayed out, ready to capture.

NOTE: This will work with all popup menus ie. Windows Menu, Context menu etc...

Works for start screen in windows 8 too!

 

open the snip tool bar. on the bottom right is a blue ? and open that has instruction a little ways down on a list of things . snip a menu
Well all things must pass. This works on Win 7 but now not so much, Thanks for the memories folks


instructions still work but the path to finding them no work no more. Imagine that?

 

Hmmmm, that opens a Bing search for 'Windows 10' for me - not what I expected ... snipping tool opens a Bing search, but then again, I'm running the pure bleeding Edge browser (IE 11 turned off in Features).

I'll try Cliff S's suggestion next (the full screen / crop works)
Ctrl + PrtScn then New button to capture works here
but
*Start + PrtScn gives me a full screen capture.

offTopic: When I was testing this, I went to capture All Apps, but ..... there aren't any ¿?¿
Time to restart Explorer or the machine *Wink

 

Thanks for this topgundcp as I have used the snipping tool a lot but could never figure how to capture pop up menus.

 

In addition. *Smile

Thanks to everyone who offered a solution here. I too have struggled to capture screenshots of menus. I tried Screenpresso but couldn't get on with it.

Such a simple thing to do once you know how.

 

I posted a thank you to everyone but for some reason it didn't get posted.

Let me add my thanks now/Jack

 

Just thought I'd share this one with ya!

'Greenshot' screen capture utility lets you freeze and capture anything on any screen pressing PrtScn.

That looks interesting, I may give that a go.
