Windows includes a screen capture/screenshot tool that is actually pretty decent. You can take region captures or full screenshots and easily save them using this tool.

Steps to create Snipping Tool shortcut in Windows 10: Step 1: Right-tap blank area, open New in the context menu and select Shortcut from the sub-items. Step 2: Type snippingtool.exe or snippingtool, and click Next in the Create Shortcut window. Snipping Tool is the default screenshot capturing utility in Windows 10.

The only annoying thing with this trick is that you can’t use the PrintScreen key… but no big deal. I assigned Ctrl + F12 because that’s something easy to remember that I don’t use for anything else.
