You’ll see a toast notification at the top of the screen telling you as much and offering to let you continue taking screenshots or stop.<\/p>\n

Here are some screenshots that I have taken so far:<\/p>\n

Screen Capture (Picture Hub)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Screen<\/a>

Screen Capture (Internet Explorer)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Screen<\/a>

Screen Capture (Lock Screen)<\/p><\/div>\n

\"Screen<\/a>

Screen Capture (Start Screen)<\/p><\/div>\n
