Windows 10: How can I make it so print screen captures active window without clicking the extra keys?

I know you can capture the active window when you press "CTRL+ALT+Print Scr", but it's such an annoyance when I need to capture a quick screenshot of a game. How can I make it, so the "Print Scr" button alone takes a screenshot of the active window only and have "CTRL+ALT+Print Scr" take a picture of both screens? Honestly, I believe users want to take a snapshot of just one window or screen more than their whole workspace.

Screen Capture software

Hi,

Upon checking on your concern, we have found a suggestion that may help you take a screenshot of the dropdown menu using the Snipping tool. Please follow the steps below:

• Launch Snipping tool.
• Right-click the menu you wish to take a screenshot.
• Press CTRL + Fn+ Print Scrn.
• Once you've already taken the print screen of the menu, you may try using the snipping tool and check if it will be able to capture the drop down menu.

Let us know how it goes.

When you have what you want to capture on the screen, enter the appropriate key combo, and TPU capture will launch and you will be able to save the captured image to various locations.
