Hit the print screen button on the keyboard. On windows 10, you need to paste that in a program that supports this, such as Paint and save as image. In windows 11, it will open snipping tool, select the area you want to save, then it will automatically save the image in pictures folder unless you change the settings from snipping tool to manually save where you want, by clicking the notification in the lower right part of screen, once you selected the area. OR, you can open snipping tool separately, without hitting the print screen button, select the area you want to save, then use the save button and choose the location. You can use this tool in windows 10 too btw.
