Solution 2: Screenshot on Asus Laptop with PrtSc Key

1. Press the PrtSc Key to take a screenshot of the whole screen

Simply, it's a process of screenshot, paste, and save. Here is how to do it:

Step 1: Press PrtSc on your keyboard. Then the current screenshot of the whole screen will be copied to the clipboard.

2. Windows + PrtSc keys to screenshot the whole screen (Windows 8/10 only)

Windows 8 and Windows 10 make screenshot much easier.

Step 1: On your keyboard, press the Windows key and the PrtSc key at the same time to take a screenshot of the whole screen.

Now the picture will be copied to the clipboard and be automatically saved in the path C:\Users[Your Name]\Picture\Screenshots. If the OneDrive on your computer synchronizes with the Pictures folder, the picture will be automatically saved in the path C:\Users[Your Name][Your OneDrive foldername]\Pictures\Screenshots.

Step 2: Go to the location mentioned above to find your screenshot.

Step 3: If you want to edit the photo, paste it to the Paint program.

3. Take a screenshot of an active window

Step 1: Click anywhere of the window to make it the active window.

Step 2: Press Alt + PrtSc on your keyboard to take a screenshot of it.

Step 3: Search Paint in the Windows Start menu and click on the Paint program to open it.

Step 4: Press Ctrl + V on your keyboard to paste the screenshot into the Paint program.

Step 5: Press Ctrl + S to save the screenshot.

Solution 3: Screenshot on Asus Laptop with Fn Key

The first two solutions work on the Asus laptops with a standard keyboard. If you are using an Asus laptop with an Fn key, the PrtSc key works on not only screenshot. Therefore, Windows doesn't take a screenshot when you press keyboard shortcuts including PrtSc. Try the steps below to use the Fn key to complete the screenshot.

Keyword Shortcut to Take Screenshot

  1. Press Fn + PrtSc to take a screenshot of the whole screen, which is copied to the clipboard. This is the same as pressing the standard PrtSc key.

  2. Press Fn + Windows + PrtSc to take a screenshot of the whole screen and save it as a file on the hard drive. The screenshot will be stored in the Screenshot folder of the Picture library without using any other tool. This is equivalent to pressing Windows + PrtSc on a standard keyboard.

  3. Press Fn + Alt + PrtSc to take a screenshot of the active window. This corresponds to pressing Alt + PrtSc on a standard keyboard.

Solution 4: Screenshot on Asus Laptop on Windows 10

With Windows 10's Snip & Sketch introduced with the October 2018 update, you can create, annotate, save and share screenshots.

Step 1: Search Snip & Sketch in the search field on your taskbar and click on it.

Open Snip & Sketch

Step 2: Click on the New button on the top-left corner or press Ctrl + N to start the screenshot. Now you can click and drag the mouse to select a screenshot area.
