  1. How to take quick screenshots with just the print screen button?


    I really enjoy taking screenshots as I find it easy to do, however, ever since I moved from saving Screenshots to Microsoft OneDrive to my PC, I have had to use the Windows Key + Print Screen, which I didn't mind at first, but I have since found that it lags a bit, as I like taking quick screenshots of a TV Episode or Movie. I even moved it back to Microsoft OneDrive to see if I could capture a screenshot with just the Print Screen button but it wouldn't work.Is there a way to customize my keyboard so I can take quick screenshots with just the print screen button so I can take quicker screensh

    :)

    Screenshot not working by using the Print Screen button

    I have been using a desktop Windows 10 computer, with a Logitech K120 keyboard with a chord. But as the letters have worn off I changed it to a cordless Acer, but since then I haven't been able to use the Print Screen button to bring up the tools for the Snipping Tool & to do a screenshot using the Window key & Print Screen button. The Print Screen doesn't seem to work at all. I can use the shortcut for the Snipping Tool ie Windows + Shift + S, but I still can't take a screenshot. Would it have something to do with the fact the Print Screen button also has Insert on it as well (above)? Do I need to disable the top row of functions somehow to use the Print Screen?

    Lock vs Login screen screenshot

    Hi Josey -

    Thanks for the quick reply. While your suggestion does change the sign in process, it doesn't address the differing screenshot question. Following the steps doesn't make the login screenshot the same as the Lock screenshot. As I mentioned, I can't even find the screenshots being used for both screens.

    Still looking a solution to this. Open to any other suggestions you might have to the problem. Thanks!
