How to Take a Scrolling Screenshot in Windows 10
When attempting to capture a webpage, especially one that requires additional scrolling, the default options in Windows 10 -- like Print Screen, or the Snipping Tool -- fall well short. These apps are designed for single-page screenshots, and don’t work when the entire area isn’t visible all at once.
For those times that you need to scroll to capture all the information, we like ShareX, an open source app that adds the functionality you need to capture the information you need.
