I have a double monitor setup, a use the second monitor for viewing charts etc. Howvever, when I take screenshots with Alt+F1 in msfs, it creates a screenshot from my second monitor too, so I would have to crop it afterwards. How can I take screenshots only from MSFS and ignore the second monitor?

Where does Alt+F1 come from? I have no such binding to the keyboard in MSFS.

Maybe it's set up in Steam options instead?

I use Microsoft Window's built-in Snipping Tool.  You can access it with Win Key+Shift+S.  The tool allows you to snip whichever monitor you like, or any portion of either monitor.  Works like a champ.

xbox game bar.

Using the Windows Sniping tool, it good because you can instantly crop the frame, but take to long in certain situations, there I am looking a press shortcut and get screenshot of one whole screen solution, but I couldn't find any options within xbox game bar for that.
