How do I capture desktop screen image in Windows UWP app?

Question

I am writing windows UWP app, I used PickSingleItemAsync to select the screen to capture. It does not list desktop image. So, How do I capture desktop screen image in Windows UWP app?

GraphicsCaptureItem can capture an entire screen, or it can capture an app window. The desktop wallpaper doesn't fall into either category. — Raymond Chen, Aug 31 '21 at 03:44

I used PickSingleItemAsync to select the screen to capture. It does not list desktop image.

PickSingleItemAsync can use to select current available display then to get desktop screen image.

Open picker -> change select option like following.

Yes it works for other windows. But it doesnot display desktop screen (shell window). – Muthuraja Aug 30 '21 at 06:18
