Every Difference You Should Care About Between Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Windows 11 Review: Microsoft's Subtle Changes Make You Ask, Update or Wait?.

Click the down-arrow button next to the New button to delay a snip for 3 or 10 seconds. It's an extra step to proceed this way, but it also lets you delay a screenshot. From here, you need to click the New button in the upper left to initiate a screen capture and open the small panel.

If you open Snip & Sketch from the Start menu or by searching for it, it will open the Snip & Sketch window instead of the small panel at the top of the screen. (If you miss the notification, open the notification panel and you'll see it sitting there.) Click the notification to open the screenshot in the Snip & Sketch app to annotate, save or share it. Once you take your screenshot, it will be saved to your clipboard and show up momentarily as a notification in the lower-right corner of your screen. So long, Snipping Tool.Įither the keyboard shortcut or the notification button will dim your screen and open a tiny menu at the top of your screen that lets you choose which type of screenshot you want to take: rectangular, freeform, window or full-screen. The built-in Snip & Sketch app has finally won us over and is now our go-to method for taking screenshots in Windows 10 and 11. (If you're a frequent screenshot taker, we recommend pinning the app to the taskbar.) Or you can just search for it if you don't commit the keyboard shortcut to memory. You can also find the Snip & Sketch tool listed in the alphabetical list of apps accessed from the Start button as well as in the notification panel where it's listed as Screen snip. The easiest way to call up Snip & Sketch is with the keyboard shortcut Windows key + Shift + S. It can now capture a screenshot of a window on your desktop, a surprising omission when the app was first introduced that kept us on Team Snipping Tool until recently.

The Snip & Sketch tool is easier to access, share and annotate screenshots than the old Snipping Tool.
