Windows 10: how to get an image of the entire screen (Print Screen)

Windows 10


I've tried windows key+Print Screen and alt+Print Screen and then Paste into Irfanview (a program that processes .png .jpg etc.) Apparently nothing is getting copied to the clipboard by Print Screen.


I normally use the snipping tool to capture screen shots. But in this case, the portion of the screen that I need to capture is a drop-down list that disappears when I bring up the snipping tool.


Thanks.

:)

Look at the print window on the bottom half of the attached image, it's out of the screen. I have to drag it up to click the print button.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

• What exactly are you referring to?
• Are you facing any kind of issues with Windows?

If you want to take a screen shot and save it as picture, I suggest you to check with the below steps.

To take a screen shot and save it as a picture

• 
  Click the window you want to capture. Press Alt+Print Screen by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the Print Screen key. The Print Screen key is near the upper-right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact
  key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)
  

Note: You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the Print Screen key without holding down the Alt key.

• 
  Click Start, click Accessories, and then click
  Paint.
  
• 
  In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click
  Paste.
  
• 
  When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click
  Save As.
  
• 
  In the Save As dialog box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click
  Save.
