On Windows, you can screenshot a selected area with Win + Shift + S. Opens Snip & Sketch to capture any region; the image goes to the clipboard. It sits in the Screenshots & Recording group and is one of the Windows shortcuts people look up most, so it is worth committing to memory — it works the same way across almost every app that follows standard Windows conventions.
Open the app or screen where you want to screenshot a selected area.
