I would like to get a screen shot of the start menu. I tried it with the Snipping Tool but when I click on the Snipping Tool, the start menu closes. I have build 10074.
Press PrtScn with Start open, then open Paint and press CTRL+V to paste the screenshot in. Then crop it to suit.
Screenpresso is good for stuff like that Screenpresso: The Ultimate Screen Capture Tool for Windows
- Run snipping tool ( If screen appears grayed out, press ESC, if not continue step 2.)
- Click to open the start menu
- Hold CTRLand press print Screen. Screen will appear grayed out, ready to capture.
NOTE:This will work with all popup menus ie. Windows Menu, Context menu etc...
How to capture the Start Menu By aroms on
Start Menu captured!
We discovered a handy little tip for the snipping tool over at Microsoft.If you have ever wanted to ‘snip’ the Start Menu or capture a drop down item list then just follow these simple steps
1) Start the Snipping Tool
2) Press ‘Esc’ or click the Cancel button in the tool to cancel the current snip or capture
3) Open the Start Menu or the drop down list you wish to capture
4) Now the important step, press the CTRL + Prnt Scrn keys simultaneously
5) You will notice that your screen goes into ‘snip’ mode i.e. it greys out, yet the menu or drop down still appears
6) Now you can snip away capturing your image as normal
It may seem counter-intuitive to use the CTRL + Prnt Scrn keys as this action will normally copy a screen shot to the clipboard but of course you will still have to crop/edit that image in an image processing tool.
This method allows you to crop the image straight away and then of course have all of the edit functionality of the Snipping Tool itself.
Works for start screen in windows 8 too!

Well all things must pass. This works on Win 7 but now not so much, Thanks for the memories folks
instructions still work but the path to finding them no work no more. Imagine that?
+ PrtScn
Hmmmm, that opens a Bing search for 'Windows 10' for me - not what I expected ... snipping tool opens a Bing search, but then again, I'm running the pure bleeding Edge browser (IE 11 turned off in Features).open the snip tool bar. on the bottom right is a blue ? and open that has instruction a little ways down on a list of things . snip a menu
I'll try Cliff S's suggestion next (the full screen / crop works)
Ctrl + PrtScn then New button to capture works here
but
+ PrtScn gives me a full screen capture.
offTopic: When I was testing this, I went to capture All Apps, but ..... there aren't any ¿?¿
