    Screen Captures Refuse to Save


    I can't find my screen captures. I use Windows 11 on an Acer Aspire 5 laptop. Snipping Tool was my go-to application for screen captures for years, but now I don't have access to it. I understand that holding Windows Logo + PrtSc takes a screen capture and automatically saves it to my Screenshots folder, but when I press Fn + PrtSc, the option comes up for me to actually select the screen area that I want to capture, but then it magically doesn't save anywhere. I want to be able to use the Fn + PrtSc shortcut so that I can actually crop my screen captures live, but I can't do that with the Win

    :)

    Screen Capture software

    Hi,

    Upon checking on your concern, we have found a suggestion that may help you take a screenshot of the dropdown menu using the Snipping tool. Please follow the steps below:

    • Launch Snipping tool.
    • Right-click the menu you wish to take a screenshot.
    • Press CTRL + Fn+ Print Scrn.
    • Once you've already taken the print screen of the menu, you may try using the snipping tool and check if it will be able to capture the drop down menu.

    Let us know how it goes.

    TPU Capture

    Great tool, fantastic. http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/search.php?q=tpucapture

    For all those that dont know TPU Capture... its a screenshot tool that allows fullscreen or selected box screen capture... WITH automatic upload to TPU server. It saves a lot of steps. Great. Recommended.

    BUGS

    1./ TPU Capture can only capture Screen 1. It cannot capture 2nd screen (or more)
    2./ If TPU Capture window is moved to the second screen, then at some point the PC has only one screen, ie. not connected, disabled, etc. The TPU Capture window is "lost in space". It is not coming back to what screen real-estate actually exists. This may occur with resolution changes also.

    Hope bugs can be fixed, but even with bugs its very useful utility *Toast :toast:

    PC:

    1.- Configure on your screen what you want to appear in the capture.

    2.- Press Windows key + Print to capture the image.

    Tablet:
