Printscreen/ screenshot?

This functionality isnt available on WP7 yet. We will have to look forward to 'Mango' and see if that update brings us anything.

There is no API as of now that developers can use in their apps for screen capture..

 

Greenshot: The hotkey(s) "PrintScreen, Alt + PrintScreen, Ctrl + PrintScreen, ..." could not be registered

Adding on top of @userJT's solution -

Initially, Greenshot complained about "PrintScreen" and "Ctrl + PrintScreen" for me. It appears that "PrintScreen" was taken by OneDrive and "Ctrl + PrintScreen" - by DropBox. After you disable both, problem goes away.

Full list of steps -

1. See the error message like in the question. Panic, google, get to this page
   
2. Note the first key that Greenshot complains about.
   
   • In most of the cases it will be "PrintScreen", so let's take it as an example.
     
3. Press "PrintScreen" on your keyboard.
   
4. OneDrive will pop up, prompting to save screenshots to OneDrive. Choose "No, Thanks" there.
   
5. Click "Retry" in Greenshot's dialog, note the keys that are still taken.
   
6. Repeat steps above for keys that Greenshot cannot register until it succeeds.
   
   • In my case it was "Ctrl + PrintScreen" that was taken by DropBox.
     
7. Enjoy shortcuts in Greenshot
   

HTH.

 

Does Miracast support 4K?

Hello,

We suggest that you check with the manufacturer of the 4k display device that you are using if it is certified to work with Miracast. If your display device is certified to work with Miracast, then check if your PC device supports Miracast. You may do so
by following the steps below:

• Click Start, then go to Settings >
  Projecting to this PC.
• Check if your device supports Miracast.

Regards.
