You can make a screen recording on a Windows 11 computer using the Snipping Tool (this is not possible on Windows 10). Follow these steps:

-
Click on the movie camera icon from the toolbar that appears on top of the screen.
-
With the crosshair cursor, click and drag to select the area of the screen you want to record.
-
The toolbar will now update. If you'd like to include narration or system audio, toggle the microphone icon/speaker icon on. Then, click Start to begin.
-
When you're finished, click the red square/Stop button to stop the recording.
-
The screen recording will be automatically saved in C:\Users\[YourUsername]\Videos\Screen Recordings (you can change the default location for your screen recordings in the settings). The filename will include the current date and will look something like this:
-
You can now attach this file to your support request.
Windows 10
Using ShareX
To make a screen recording on a Windows 10 computer, please use any third-party application you prefer. One of these applications is ShareX, a free and open-source app based on FFmpeg (a free and open-source multimedia framework).
To proceed, download, install and launch ShareX: https://getsharex.com/
1. In ShareX, go to the Capture menu and select Screen Recording. It may ask you to install FFmpeg, agree, and it will do it automatically.
2. After selecting Screen Recording, ShareX will ask you to select a part of the screen you want to record – select the whole screen.
3. Reproduce the issue and stop the recording by clicking on the ShareX tray icon.
4. Once the screen recording is completed, save the file to the specified location and then attach it to the support request.
