How to get a screenshot of only main screen using key combination?

0

Currently, to capture quickly a lot of screen, I use Ctrl+PrintScreen keys.

On Windows 10, this solution works well and quickly.

A PNG file is directly copied in C:\Users\<%userid%>\Pictures\Screenshots folder.

The problem is that I have 2 screens and when I press Ctrl+PrintScreen keys an image that contains a screenshot of both screens is genarated !

Is there a key's combinations that allow to capture only active screen ?

Move your mouse to the monitor you want to screenshot, then press Ctrl+Alt+PrintScrn. Then just paste the screenshot into an image editor such as paint, paint.NET, etc and save.

Yes, this work but for any image, I must save it using an image editor. It is very painful and don't answer to my question. Thanks for the effort. – schlebe – 2018-12-21T12:00:46.987
