Windows key + Shift + “S” can call. You can find all the information you need on this new hard copy function and the associated program ” Cut and sketch ” in our article ” Windows + Shift + S – Windows function for creating hard copies “.
Now the key combination is not very successful and relatively difficult to remember. That is why we are showing you today how you can place the icon for the screenshot or hard copy function in the Windows 10 taskbar .
