Taking screenshot in Windows 10

[Anonymous]

You have to push both of the buttons at the same time, and very quickly. If you press for long it doesn’t work.

It takes some practice, you have to “stab” both of the buttons. Use 2 fingers, one for power, one for volume!

OK, got it working. The reliable way here is to hold down power, then hit vol+. No need for exact timing then.

Reason it seemed to not be working for me was my Pictures folder wasn’t where I thought it was. I had moved it to sdcard earlier, but it left a location on the C drive too, which the screenshot dumps defaulted to.

Thanks for the extra tip, it will make my edit to my Tricks thread more complete. Does this work on the A5C8??

Yes  it does

Also, pressing power+volume down seems to simulate ctrl-alt-del (I’m guessing that’s what that menu is, I actually haven’t pressed ctrl-alt-del in Win10 yet).

Alexandra, nice tip about the ctrl+alt+del. I just pinned task manager to my start menu instead as that’s the main reason I ctrl+alt+del anyway. And of course I use GreenShot for taking screenshot as it just makes more sense that some silly button combinations.

Right clicking on the search bar also gives an options menu, including task manager.

And it comes up with ctrl-shift-esc if you have a physical keyboard handy.
