Try either using the native Windows Snipping tool or the key combo of
Windows Logo Key + Print Screen key
To capture what you want in either a .jpg or .png format and then open that file with Paint and see what you get.
The WinKey + PrntScrn key combo will place a screen shot in your Pictures Folder, inside a sub-folder called Screenshots

Thank you for your prompt answer.
I pressed Windows logo key+printscreen key as you said the file is saved at the sub-folder called screenshots; but when I opened it on Paint it still opened as windows default theme. The reason I open it or paste it on Paint because I need to crop it.

Please help.

Maybe a screen shot of what you are having a problem with would help us understand the issue. I am not clear by what "opened as windows default theme" means exactly.
As for editing images, you might want to take a look at something a bit more robust than Paint.

Try using Alt + Print Screen key combination to only paste the active window into paint.
