screen capture software
Hi. Need to use a accessible free screen capture software for windows server 2019. Need to capture the screen, then save them as a png or other images. Need to do this for a network lab and to show my trainer what I have done inside windows server 2019 inside hyper v manager. Any ideas. Have tried different software. Either not accessible or not able. Unless have to create a auto hot key script to do this. Thanks.
You should have the tools already in Server 2019. (They are certainly in
mine!)
Your keyboard should have a PrtSc (Print Screen) button which, when pressed,
will capture the entire screen.
You can also capture just the dialog or window in focus by holding down the
Alt key and pressing PrtSc. (Do consider this as full screens can sometimes
be just too much)
Under Windows Accessories, you will find a program called "Paint". Run it,
and select New.
Ctrl + v will paste the screen shot you have taken in to Paint.
You can now do a normal Windows Save As, where you have a number of files
types to select from.
I suggest you ensure your file name make it clear what it represents.
After that, you can insert what is essentially a picture in to Word or
append to an e-mail, etc..

Hi,
Especially if you RDP into the VM just use the print screen command and then you should be able to paste the output into a document or other file on your machine when you come out of the session. Tip don't just exit the session as it clears the contents of the clipboard, use ctrl+alt+break to exit full-screen mode and you should be able to use alt+tab to get to your programs on your desktop.
Andrew.
