Do you need a screenshot of the error message? Or is the content of the message the goal? In the latter case, practically all of those type of messages are being tracked by the Event Viewer, built into Windows itself. Using the Event Viewer isn't difficult at all, but some might find the interface not so straightforward to work with.

Also, the Event Viewer can be a treasure trove on info, yet also an obfuscating mess. Mileage will vary.

Not sure if the Event Viewer is accessible when using Windows 10 Home edition. It is accessible with Windows 10 Pro and better.

THanks Shades, will look into the event viewer

Re Automatic Screenshotter --

I tried reducing the height of 'either dimension' (see screenshot options OP) to 10 pixels with no succes.

I need a little more info -- what you are trying to do and what is happening vs what you expect.

Currently it doesnt capture them (my query was if changing the options could change that)

I think it works more with windows (?)
I was also hoping it would capture small-er dialogue boxes such as error messages, and, e.g.

I tried selecting the 'Full Desktop' option with no change (tested with the mini Dopus dialog shown above).

Note #2:
the volume control does get copied
