No, GPU-Z takes screenshots only of its own window. 
EDIT: IF your OS of choice is Windows 10 or 11, those have a good video & screenshot taking functions for games built-in:
support.xbox.com
If you do not want to use that Microsoft's method, lots of other free & paid programs exist that can do it.
EDIT #2: I assume your GPU is not Intel, and is either AMD Radeon or Nvidia GeForce. If so, those 2 GPU makers also have good screenshoter functions built-in into their GPU software.
(Full Radeon drivers needed for this for team Red, or drivers+GeForce Experience tool for team Green
)

Thanks for the replies guys. So earlier on using windows + prnt key I was getting a black screen. Later I switched to fullscreen borderless and I can take screenshots just fine
You are welcome.
Please note this chosen screen mode might slow down your game.
Does the XBox way of taking screenshots not work in fullscreen non-borderless mode?
OR of course, you can use the AMD Radeon/GeForce Experience way.
