The screenshot feature for Windows in Desktop OK is an optional feature for desktop screenshots!
The screenshot function can be optionally activated in Desktop-OK, if you want to capture a screenshot of the desktop as a full screen or only a certain area of the Windows desktop as an image. It really does not matter if it's the new Windows 10 or one of Microsoft's older Windows desktop and / or server operating systems.

User bug fix message!
Today, after installing the latest version of DesktopOK, all of our family notebooks have a new icon in the bottom right corner of the systray that says "ScreenShotOK" when you hover over it. After restarting the notebook, this icon has disappeared again.
Given the name and the fact that DesktopOK was previously reinstalled, I suspect that this icon has something to do with DesktopOK.
It would be nice to get a short message on the subject. Thank you in advance and thank you very much for the useful program and your program maintenance.
Bug Fix Screenshot Icon 5.71.1 fixed!
Info:
Old but gold - the classic Windows shortcut to take a screenshot is still the first choice for many today and also works in Windows 10: the "Print button". It is usually found above the "Insert key". If you press the button once, you take a screenshot of the entire screen area and save the result at the location mentioned for further processing. The FN key may be necessary for laptops. DesktopOK offers more editing options than Microsoft's screenshot tool. Download the freeware here. The advantage of this method is that it is quick to use, the relatively clear key designation does the rest. However, screenshots made in this way may make further work necessary, since they represent the entire active screen including any desktop extension. For smaller image sections - in presentations, for example - there is no way around short editing.
