2. The screen dims and a toolbar appears at the top of the screen.
   
3. Select the "Windowed Mode" icon (usually in the middle)
   
4. Select the window to be screened.
   
5. Press WIN + A to open the notification panel (moves out to the right)
   
6. Click on our sketch.
   
7. After clicking on the thumbnail, the screenshot image file will be saved automatically to the address:
   

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState

To quickly access the path of the directory with screenshots, add a shortcut, for example: to the Desktop
Second option, enable the combination WIN + ALT + PrintScreen . To do this, your graphics card must be compatible (or maybe not) with the built-in Game Bar in Windows 10.

C:\Users\%username%\Videos\Captures
