Print Screen only one monitor
I have two monitors but often print screen to a file using win+prtscrn
Then I have to crop out the second screen. Can I print screen from one monitor when two are displaying?

You could try the built-in "snippingtool" provided with the OS. The first time you use it, from Cortana, you can right-click the entry on the Task Bar and select "Pin..." so that snippingtool will always be available for your usage. I also run "control" from Start : Run and pin that to the task bar so I can access the Control Panels and access Programs and Features when I need it. Paul

Use some utility like IrfanViewer which has a more granular screen capture. That's what I currently use to crop!  In IV I have to batch crop using the starting top-left X-pos & Y-pos for that crop and then adding the width and length of the crop. I am trying to eliminate the crop step where I was hoping that Windows 10 somehow had a way to snap one screen to a file using the convenient print screen button. I know IV has the Ctrl+F11 print screen which can be set to those X:Y coordinates. I'll look again at the Windows 10 snapshot tool but when I first tested it when it came out I determined it was more meant to edit than to conveniently snapshot. When I ran the snipping tool from Cortana it said it's "moving" to "snip & sketch" where both seem to be more of an editing tool than a screenshot-to-file tool that Win+PrtScrn is. Alt-Print screen won't get just the one monitor although the window can be preset to the monitor but even then it doesn't automatically put the snapshot into a file like Win+PrtScrn does. The Win10 snapshot tools seem to save to the clipboard which is found in Win+V but they still don't seem to have a single keyboard button to snap the screenshot to the clipboard but maybe they do and I just haven't found it yet?
