Since monitors are quite affordable these days, having a multi-monitor setup isn't all that uncommon. And the increased screen real estate does have several advantages. You can use it for gaming to get an increased field of view or for efficient multi-tasking at work. But it does have its fair share of disadvantages.

Depending on the system you're using, setting up additional monitors might harm the performance. Or you might encounter something known as The Large Display Paradox, which may hamper your productivity. And as far as the functionality is concerned, you might even face some minor issues while doing simple things like taking a screenshot.
For instance, if you take a screenshot using the usual Windows key+Print Screen shortcut on a system with a multi-monitor setup, you'll end up with an unusually large screenshot. That can be very annoying as you'll repeatedly have to crop and resize the screenshots before you can use them. However, there are a couple of simple workarounds for that.

So there are three simple ways you can take screenshots of just one monitor on Windows 10. You can either use the Snipping tool with a simple keyboard shortcut, use the print screen button, or use a third-party app like Snagit.
How to Take Screenshots of One Monitor Using Snipping Tool
Even though the Windows 10 Snipping Tool has been replaced with the new Snip & Sketch app, you can still use it most systems to easily capture screenshots of a single screen. Just follow these simple steps to take screenshots of only one monitor:
Step 1: Open up the Snipping Tool from the Start menu.
Step 2: Now use the Alt+M+S shortcut to take a screenshot.
The keyboard shortcut will instantly take a screenshot of the primary monitor on your system and then display it within the Snipping Tool.

Step 3: Artboard 2 2 4. Then save the screenshot on your system by either using the Ctrl+S shortcut or by selecting the Save As option from the File menu.
While this method is quite simple to use, there's a catch. You can only use this method to capture the screenshot of your primary display. It won't work on any secondary display. You can head over to the Display settings and change your primary screen, but that's too much work. So if you want to take screenshots of one of your secondary display, you should check out the next method.
How to Take Screenshots of One Monitor Using the Print Screen Key
Since the Windows key+Print Screen shortcut doesn't let you capture screenshots of a single display, there's a different key combination that you can use. Just follow these steps to take a screenshot of only one monitor using the Print Screen key:
Step 1: Move your cursor to the monitor that you wish to capture.
Step 2: Now use the Ctrl+Alt+Print Screen shortcut to take the screenshot of the monitor.
Step 3: Open MS Paint from the Start Menu.
Step 4: Use the Ctrl+V shortcut to paste your screenshot in Paint.
Step 5: Save your screenshot using the Ctrl+S shortcut or by selecting the Save/Save As option from the File menu.
While this method allows you to take screenshots of your secondary monitor, it'll only work if you have a program open in the monitor. If you wish to overcome that limitation as well, you'll need to use the Snip & Sketch app or a third-party tool like Snagit to take a screenshot of just one display.

To take screenshots of only one monitor using Snip & Sketch, follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Launch the Snip & Sketch app from the Start menu.
Step 2: Click on the New button in the top left corner or use the Ctrl+N shortcut to take a new screenshot.
Step 3: Now click on the rectangular selection tool from the toolbar at the top.
Step 4: Then click and drag your mouse from one edge to another on the monitor you wish to capture.
Step 5: Now click on the floppy disk icon in the top right corner to save the screenshot or use the Ctrl+S shortcut.
Alternatively, you can also use third-party software like Snagit to the same effect. Just pull up the program, click on the Capture button and once again, click and drag your mouse from one corner of the monitor to the other.
Then you can save the screenshot using the Ctrl+S shortcut or by selecting Save As in the File menu. The best part about using software like Snagit is that it gives you access to a bunch of additional annotation tools to easily edit your screenshot. However, you'll need to shell out some cash for that added functionality.

Print Screen (often abbreviated Print Scrn, Prnt Scrn, Prt Scrn, Prt Scn, Prt Scr, Prt Sc or Pr Sc) is a key present on most PC keyboards. It is typically situated in the same section as the break key and scroll lock key. The print screen may share the same key as system request.
Original use[edit]
Under command-line based operating systems such as MS-DOS, this key causes the contents of the current text modescreen memory buffer to be copied to the standard printer port, usually LPT1. In essence, whatever is currently on the screen when the key is pressed will be printed. Pressing the Ctrl key in combination with Prt Sc turns on and off the 'printer echo' feature. When echo is in effect, any conventional text output to the screen will be copied ('echoed') to the printer. There is also a Unicode character for print screen, U+2399⎙PRINT SCREEN SYMBOL.
Modern use[edit]
Newer-generation operating systems using a graphical interface tend to save a bitmap image of the current screen, or screenshot, to their clipboard or comparable storage area. Some shells allow modification of the exact behavior using modifier keys such as the control key.
In Microsoft Windows, pressing Prt Sc will capture the entire screen,[1] while pressing the Alt key in combination with Prt Sc will capture the currently selected window.[1] The captured image can then be pasted into an editing program such as a graphics program or even a word processor. Pressing Prt Sc with both the left Alt key and left ⇧ Shift pressed turns on a high contrast mode (this keyboard shortcut can be turned off by the user).[2] Since Windows 8, pressing the ⊞ Win key in combination with Prt Sc (and optionally in addition to the Alt key) will save the captured image to disk (the default pictures location).[3] This behavior is therefore backward compatible with users who learned Print Screen actions under operating systems such as MS-DOS. In Windows 10, the Prt Sc key can be configured to open the 'New' function of the Snip & Sketch tool. This allows the user to take a full screen, specific window, or defined area screenshot and copy it to clipboard. This behaviour can be enabled by going to Snip & Sketch, accessing Settings via the menu and enabling the 'Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping'.
In KDE and GNOME, very similar shortcuts are available, which open a screenshot tool (KSnapshot or GNOME Screenshot respectively), giving options to save the screenshot, plus more options like manually picking a specific window, screen area, using a timeout, etc. Sending the image to many services (KDE), or even screen recording (GNOME), is built-in too.[4][5]
Prt Scrn Mac
Macintosh does not use a print screen key; instead, key combinations are used that start with ⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift. These key combinations are used to provide more functionality including the ability to select screen objects. ⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift+3 captures the whole screen, while ⌘ Cmd+⇧ Shift+4 allows for part of the screen to be selected. The standard print screen functions described above save the image to the desktop. However, using any of the key sequences described above, but additionally pressing the Ctrl will modify the behavior to copy the image to the system clipboard instead.
Notable keyboards[edit]
On the IBM Model F keyboard, the key is labeled PrtSc and is located under the Enter key. On the IBM Model M, it is located next to the F12 key and is labeled Print Screen.
