Print Screen - Really annoying

[Alex_SP3]

I have NEVER been able to do a Print Screen using the windows + volume down the first time. It takes several times before it finally does it. I even have screen prints with the volume bar in them. This is without a keyboard.

Am I the ONLY ONE?

What's the scoop?

AAARRRGGG!

Here are some alternatives including your method:
Fn + Spacebar goes to clipboard

Fn + Windows Key + Spacebar goes to Screenshots Picture folder
*make sure you follow the order sequence

Windows Logo (on the screen border Bevel) + Down volume button goes to Screenshots folder

Thank you for your response.

I am specifically asking about a non-keyboard issue.

Perhaps you are not understanding the sequence/timing.

Touch and hold Windows button, and count one second. Then press Volume Down, and release both.

OK. I'll give it another go when I need a screen print.

Thanks!

How to take a screenshot on your Surface

Method 1: Press and hold the Windows button, and press down on the lower volume button on the side of your Surface. Your screen will dim a little for a moment when you do this. (this saves to \Pictures\Screenshots)

Method 2: Double-press the pen top button. (this will import it directly to OneNote)

Method 3: On the keyboard, press Fn + Win + SpaceBar. (this also saves to \Pictures\Screenshots)

Method 4: Swipe left to open Charms -> Share. Click the tiny down arrow and tap "Screenshot". (this will further prompt you where you want to share it to, i.e. mail, paint, facebook, etc..)

You're right dude, I reckon it works 1 in 3 times for me...

Not the biggest issue in the world but a little frustrating! It probably is a 'user error' but they should make it so that's harder to fault!
