Follow this guide to learn how to capture Windows 10 lock screen and sign-in screen using Print Screen key and Snipping Tool. It is pretty basic and surprisingly easy to use it to take, save and share the screenshots of lock screen but only until you know it. Windows 10 comes with a built-in screenshot tool. And yes, I appreciate the irony of using a screen-shot to demonstrate taking screen-shots.How to Capture Screenshots of Lock Screen and Login Screen Step 1:Using terminal software, such as Windows Remote Desktop, open a connection to another machine, but don’t go into fullscreen mode as shown here. As with most things, the answer was quite simple, it just required some sideways thinking about the problem.

Because you can’t run an interactive user program before you log in to Windows, this method is dead-on-arrival.
The problem with using any screen capture software is that it has to be running and accepting commands (usually via hot keys) to take a picture of what you see on the screen. Method 2: Screen Capture Software (Failed) The problem is that it doesn’t work from the login prompt, probably as part of the security mechanism of Windows that correctly doesn’t allow unauthenticated users to monkey with anything including the clipboard. It’s a simple and free solution for screen-shots. Here is a good reference, if you would like more information on this approach.
Press the PrintScrn key to copy a bitmap of the desktop to the clipboard, or use Alt– PrintScrn to capture just the active window. Unless you have been living in a cave, or are new to Windows, you are probably familiar with this technique.
Method 1: Windows Built in Screen Capture (Failed) I quickly realized that my normal techniques for capturing screen-shots were impractical. I was working on some documentation recently and needed to grab a screen-shot of the Windows login prompt for an exhibit in a manual.
