How do I take a screenshot of just the open window?

Once you press ALT + Print Screen, a screenshot of the active window is copied to Windows Clipboard; you need to open up your favorite image editor (e.g. Microsoft Paint), paste the screenshot, and save it — just like you would do if you used just Print Screen.

Where do screenshots go on PC?

To take a screenshot and save the image directly to a folder, press the Windows and Print Screen keys simultaneously. You’ll see your screen dim briefly, emulating a shutter effect. To find your saved screenshot head to the default screenshot folder, which is located in C:\Users[User]\My Pictures\Screenshots.
