Use the Print Screen Key to Take a Screenshot in Windows 11

26 Nov, 2025

Most of the time the Windows Snip tool works just fine when I need a quick screenshot in Windows 11. However, it's not enough if the screenshot you want requires your mouse cursor to be in a certain spot. That's when you need the Print Screen key to work.

Here's how:

1. Press Fn+Windows+Print Screen.
2. Find your screenshot in the Pictures > screenshots folder. Alternatively, use Ctrl+V to paste it into your paint program.
