Tried using Snipping Tool exactly as described but it just won’t capture the full desktop screen for me. It always seems to grab only the active window or a part of the screen, not the entire desktop like promised. Anyone else facing this or is there a setting I’m missing?

Just a quick note: the Snipping Tool is great, but on newer versions of Windows (like Windows 10 and later), Microsoft recommends using “Snip & Sketch” or “Snip & Sketch” shortcuts instead, as they offer more features and better integration. Also, if you want to capture the entire desktop quickly, pressing Windows + Print Screen saves the screenshot automatically in the Pictures folder, which can be handy without opening Snipping Tool each time.

Tried using Snipping Tool to capture my desktop screen but it just won’t work properly on my Windows 11. Every time I try, the screen freezes or the tool crashes. Not sure if it’s a compatibility issue or a bug, but it’s really frustrating when you’re just trying to get a quick screenshot. Anyone else facing this?

@Rakesh Bhardwaj Snipping Tool is great for quick captures, but if you want more flexibility, try using the newer Snip & Sketch app available in Windows 10 and later. It lets you capture the whole screen, a window, or a selected area and also offers easy annotation tools. To open it, press Windows + Shift + S, then choose the type of snip you want. This might be easier if you’re looking to capture specific parts of your desktop regularly.
