As we all know, we can hit the PrintScreen key to capture the whole screen to clipboard, or press Alt + PrintScreen to grab the screenshot of the active window. But if you want to capture screenshot with cursor or pop up menu in it, you have to use the third-party software, for example, Gadwin.
Gadwin is very simple and easy to use, it’s by far not the best one, but it’s free.
