Windows 11 screenshot

[hellmak]

I am novice at best at using Windows. Is there a native screenshot manager for Win 11?

The way I currently take a screenshot is hitting PrtSn then pasting it into ms-paint. The way I would prefer to do it is to hit the key, or shift + PrtSn, crop, and then save it automatically with date and time as file name in ~\Pictures\screenshots - is this possible? How would I got about setting this up?

Windows key + prtSn it will save it to Pictures/screenshots 

Windows+ shift+ S it opens up Snipping tool and you can take pretty much any screen shot from that

is there a way to combine them, so I can crop and automatically save?

The naming on win+prtSn isnt great, but the default from win+shift+s was great, only it seemed like a lot of steps to save it.

that isnt possible. use it when you want a perticular spot of the screen. and if you want the whole screen Windows+prtsc will do just fine  snipping tool will copy the image into your clipboard so you can just press Ctrl+ V to paste it into most places

There are plenty. Greenshot, Lightshot and ShareX are the first few that come to mind if you need more robust features.

You can set Windows to open Snipping Tools when you hit Print-Screen key.

Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard > "Use the Print screen button to open screen snipping"

 

When you use Snipping Tool (Win+Shift+S or Print Screen with the above option enabled), you can select if you want to take a picture of:

• A window
• Full Screen
• An area that you define (rectangle)
• Draw a shape/circle/any shape (Form form)

You can also add a delay before taking the picture, and soon, you'll be able to record your screen or segment of it or a window in video form.

 

Once a screenshot is taken, you can click on the notification of Windows that will tell you it took the screenshot, and from there you can draw, crop, highlight,
