So having said that, let’s begin with the native tools first. This solution works just like pressing the Print Screen button, but saves only the active window. So if you have multiple folders opened on your desktop, pressing the Alt and Print Screen keys at the same time will allow you to save the image without background clutter. If you want more screenshot options than what Windows offers, you might want to consider third-party apps.
- Firstly grab a window title bar with the mouse and drag it into one of the four corners of the screen.
- ScreenRec is a new type of productivity tool that helps you save time and communicate faster with instant private video messages and screenshots.
- Make sure that the window you’d like to capture is unobstructed.
- SelectSearch automatically for drivers, then follow the onscreen prompts.
You can also choose the screenshot’s file type, JPEG or PNG. For screenshots, PNG is the better option because it maintains the quality of the image in a smaller file size. Alternatively, you can now download remap the print screen key on the keyboard to bring up the Snipping tools interface to take screenshots on Windows 10. However in the latest version of Windows , the print screen key can be reassigned to work as a shortcut for opening screen snipping feature. This list will include methods that come built into your Windows PC. You might know some of the methods, and you might not have heard of others. We’ll also include keyboard shortcuts and third-party apps.
Windows 11: Snap Assist and Task View
And while it’s not an issue per se, Microsoft seems determined to promote its Edge browser in its latest operating system, which can get irritating. Auto HDR is a feature which uses machine learning to replicate the effect of high dynamic range lighting in DirectX 11/12 games which lack it. It works well on the Xbox Series X/S consoles, but less so on Windows 10. It’s a neat idea, and perhaps in the future I’ll come to rely on Windows 11 Widgets during my daily routine. But right now, Widgets on Windows 11 are quite limited and easily forgotten. When Microsoft first announced they were coming to Windows 11, we were shown demos of a Widgets panel that can be customized, expanded into full-screen mode, and rearranged to your liking.
It’s currently disabled by default but can be enabled through the configuration value config_enableFullscreenUserSwitcher. The “floating search bar” in Pixel Launcher on Android 13.This feature is disabled by default but can be enabled by setting ENABLE_FLOATING_SEARCH_BAR to true. It remains to be seen if this behavior is exclusive to Google’s Pixel Launcher fork or if this will be available in AOSP Launcher3. During Google I/O, Google announced that it will introduce a unified Security & Privacy settings page in Android 13.
Windows 10 browser: Microsoft Edge
The tool may still refuse to install the update if some issues need to be fixed with your PC’s configuration first. You can either wait or try to troubleshoot the problem yourself. For the techies, an updated Terminal app is now available. You get a surprisingly full kit of apps with Windows 10. Utilities like Calculator, Camera, Paint 3D, and Voice Recorder are joined by information apps like Maps, News, and Weather. In all, I counted 23 such stock apps and utilities.
Repeat the same step for the other window but this time, drag it to the opposite side (right-side) of the screen until it snaps into position. Dividing or splitting your screen can seem like a daunting task at first as there are a lot of movable aspects involved, but trust us, it is easier than it seems. Once you get the hang of it, you will never even bother to switch between tabs again and once you get comfortable with your chosen layout you wouldn’t even notice yourself effortlessly moving between windows. I need to compare two chrome windows pages, having the same size, in landscape (top/bottom !not the portrait left/right) format.
