Learn how to take screenshots on Windows using built-in options like the Snipping Tool, Print Screen shortcuts and the Xbox Game Bar.

Microsoft is poised to make the first major change to Print Screen functionality in years. In the latest Insider builds of Windows 11, the Print Screen button activates the built-in Snipping Tool.

The Snipping Tool can also be a handy way to add highlights and annotations to your pictures—remember, you can open any image in the app, not just screenshots.
