What Redditors are Saying

How to Screenshot on a Lenovo Laptop

TL;DR Use Windows Key + Shift + S for manual selection or Windows Key + Print Screen for full screen capture saved automatically.

Using Keyboard Shortcuts

For Lenovo laptops running Windows, there are several keyboard shortcuts available for taking screenshots:

  • Windows Key + Shift + S: This shortcut opens the Snip & Sketch tool, allowing you to select a portion of the screen to capture. The screenshot is copied to the clipboard, and you can paste it into an application like Paint or Word [1:1], [2:5], [3:1].

  • Windows Key + Print Screen: This captures the entire screen and automatically saves the image as a JPEG file in the "Screenshots" folder within your "Pictures" directory [2:2], [3:6].

  • Print Screen Button: Pressing this button alone copies the entire screen to the clipboard. You need to paste it into an application like Paint to save it [2:2], [3:5].

Alternative Tools

If the built-in options aren't meeting your needs, consider using third-party applications like Lightshot or ShareX. These tools offer more flexibility and features such as direct saving, annotation, and custom shortcuts [1:3], [2:4].

Clipboard Management

For those who find manually saving screenshots cumbersome, enabling clipboard history can be helpful. This feature allows you to view and manage multiple clipboard items, including screenshots, by pressing Windows Key + V [3:8].

Troubleshooting

If standard shortcuts don't work, ensure that your system settings allow for these functions. Sometimes, function keys (Fn) may need to be used in combination with other keys, depending on your laptop's configuration [4:1]. Additionally, checking online resources or consulting Lenovo support may provide further assistance [4:3].

Print-screen button will copy your screen to clipboard (paste to ms-paint or something to use it)

Alt + print screen will copy your selected window to clipboard

Windows key + print screen will make a jpeg from your entire screen in your pictures/screenshots folder (no need to paste anything)

Windows key + shift + S will give you an option to select any part of your screen, your selection will be copied to your clipboard

Some of these options (especially that last one) will not work on old versions of windows 10.

I do it this way too, is there a way that windows itself saves the screenshot in a designated folder? Like how it is in smartphones? It’s a bit annoying to manually save the screenshots, especially if you are capturing multiple screenshots

1 upvotes on reddit
unicorks · 3 years ago

I don't think there is an option do that yet, but you can turn on clipboard history and then save all screenshots later.

settings -> system -> clipboard -> turn on clipboard history

You can then use windows + v to view the images and paste them.

No, no, no. You first tilt the phone at an odd angle, then make sure it is as unfocused as possible before you take the picture, then add a blur filter, and only then you can think about posting it here.

The first one just copies the pic as far as I know. So you have to paste it in a folder to actually save it.

Is it saved as a file? Do I need a special app to view the picture? Which directory is it stored in? I don't even have a PC, can you do one for Steam deck? In return I will send you the directions to a third world country where the quality of a screenshot is the least of their concerns. This is a 1st world problem, get over it.

Actually, it should open the "crop & annotation???" (not sure about the English name for the app) which lets you choose between fullscreen screenshot or manually capturing the desired frame. If that shortcut automatically gets you the standard fullscreen, you might need to check your settings

My favorite excuse I heard from some one at their computer taking a picture of their monitor to post on Reddit was...

...

Hold on to your pants...

Was because it was easier to post from their phone because they didn't feel like logging into reddit on their computer. Yes. That was why they took a photo instead of screenshotting, opening their web browser, then posting.

how to screenshot on Lenovo laptop

Here are the methods to take a screenshot on a Lenovo laptop:

  1. Using the Print Screen Key:

    • Full Screen: Press PrtSc (Print Screen) to capture the entire screen. This copies the screenshot to your clipboard. You can paste it into an image editor (like Paint) or a document using Ctrl + V.
    • Active Window: Press Alt + PrtSc to capture only the active window. Again, paste it using Ctrl + V.
  2. Using Windows Snipping Tool:

    • Open the Snipping Tool from the Start menu.
    • Click on "New" and select the area you want to capture.
    • Save the screenshot using the "File" menu.
  3. Using Snip & Sketch:

    • Press Windows + Shift + S. This will dim the screen and open a small toolbar at the top.
    • Choose from rectangular, freeform, window, or full-screen snip.
    • The screenshot will be copied to your clipboard, and a notification will appear to annotate and save it.
  4. Using Windows Game Bar:

    • Press Windows + G to open the Game Bar.
    • Click on the camera icon or press Windows + Alt + PrtSc to take a screenshot of the current window.

Recommendation: For quick screenshots, using Windows + Shift + S is often the most efficient method as it allows for easy selection of the area you want to capture. If you need to annotate or edit, Snip & Sketch is a great tool to use.
