Hi, I'm setting up the new PC and the only thing I can't program on my little Orb Weaver like the last PC is taking a screenshot. I think it was shift+v. But not sure.

Whenever I took a screenshot it went right to the Pictures folder in Windows 10 but now I'm on Windows 11. I looked and looked but can't find a setting in 2024 for taking a screenshot.

I did a google search and there were a bunch of ways to do it, one with the NVIDA panel but that's kludgy as it was so simple just last week. 

Is there a simple way like in Windows 10? It just worked last week in 2024 on the other PC.

Much appreciated.

EDIT: My Logi keyboard doesn't have a Windows key 😞

Thanks but I tried that. Just literally a week ago on the old PC, Win 10, I could press one button on the orb weaver and take a screenshot in any program or even of the desktop and it went straight to Pictures. I’ve taken literally over 6600 screenshots. 

What model is your keyboard? I find it difficult to believe it doesn't have a windows key or equivalent. It might just have a different icon.

Logitech MX Keys S. I found out from their website that it had a “Windows” key, not labeled as such but it doesn’t have a Print Screen key.

It looks like that keyboard comes in a normal size version and a mini one. Does yours have a keypad on the right?

Install the Nvidia app + overlay. Then use Alt+F1 to take a screenshot. It is saved in "C:\Users\***\Videos\NVIDIA\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024"

Where do I get this app? I have the NVIDIA control panel installed. Is that it?

Yes.

On full size keyboards the PrintScreen key is usually the one on the very top row above the 'Insert'. On your keyboard it looks like it may be labelled with a 1 and a symbol. I don't mean the number 1 key on the left of the keyboard. The insert key is above the left hand arrow key between the main part of the keyboard and the keypad. If you can find the one I mean try pressing it and see if it takes a screenshot. I suspect it is just the PrtSc key with a different icon.

Don't try installing extra things yet. There are probably several apps that you already have that will take screenshots, ie Steam, Xbox, GPU driver software. Also msfs has lots of screenshot capability built in especially if you are on 2024.
