I am trying to take a screenshot of a window in Windows 10 using Alt + Prt Screen and want to retain the shadow. I found this post, How to take a shadowless screenshot on Windows 10?, but I want to do the opposite.

Is there a way to take a screenshot of the active window using a keyboard command that will include the shadow?

See the drop shadow on this image as an example. (I created this by taking a full Prt Screen and cropping in Photoshop).

There is a program called Shotty that works: http://shotty.devs-on.net/en/Overview.aspx

Simply focus the window you want to take a screenshot of (no need to minimize any other windows) and press CTRL + PRT SCRN (the default hotkey using ALT instead failed to register for me because it is already being used by another program, I think just Windows 10). An image editor will open with your screenshot, including drop shadows. Click Save. (Copy to clipboard will not preserve transparency.)

alt+print retains the shadow by default.
