How to take a screen shot with Snip & Sketch

You can simply open the program by using the Shift+Windows Key+S keyboard shortcut and this will launch a small toolbar at the top of the screen that will help you capture any portion of your screen. The advantage of this method is that it will capture only what you select and not all the browsers/tabs opened in your device.
