How can i take snapshot of command prompt window in full screen mode

I need to take snapshot if command prompt window running in full screen mode.

I had tried it using PrintScreen,Ctrl+PrintScreen, Ctrl+Alt+PrintScreen button(s) but nothing seems to work

Also are there any reasons that the print screen button does not work in full screen commandprompt mode? After all, it does for all windows under normal conditions.

Click on the top bar of the command prompt (no buttons, just the empty top bit) and while you hold, enter in your screenshot short cut. It will cut to the screenshot and you can then select whatever you want to capture.

I wasn't able to find any of these replies that work, and I can't install unapproved software do to IT policies. Here is what I did:

Right click inside command window. Hit select all. Right click outside of window (on top bar close to the maximize minimize controls. Select edit; select copy. Open a notepad window and paste. The advantage here is you have text that can be copied and pasted back into a command window later. I hope this helps.

In full screen mode all you have is text. There is no graphical `rendering' as such. If you can capture the text, it is enough ... though you can always reconstruct a png image later from the text (if you really have to get an image out of it).
