Windows 10: Why can't I use snipping tool / print screen screen capture on multiple monitors anymore?

When using snipping tool I can no longer drag it across multiple screens when I used to be able to. Is this a bug, feature, or is there a setting that has been changed preventing me from doing so.

:)

 

Print Screen and Snipping Tool does not capture Second Monitor in dual monitor. The image becomes black.

Thanks Greg for help,

Alt + Print Screen just copy the monitor were the cursor (active screen) is not the two monitors.

I usually use the Win Key + Print Screen and that works fine, but after some windows upgrade I don't remember when this doesn't work anymore.

And the Snipping Tool also always worked well on both monitors, when I needed to make a cut on any of the monitors.

Now, when the Snipping Tool is activated, the monitor 2 is gray and does not allow to capture anything, the cutout is a black rectangle.

 

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.

And when I try to capture something on the second monitor with the Snipping tool, the monitor turns gray and does not capture anything.

See the pictures.







Thanks.
