How to take a screenshot on Windows 10?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

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.
  

If issue still persists, I suggest you to follow the methods below and check if it help:

You can also use the on screen keyboard to check if that helps. You may follow the article below for the same.
