Win+Shift+S for taking a screenshot

win+*print* takes screenshot and automatically saves it to "screenshots" folder (in pictures) 

 

i usually use screen snip though, better for just taking a pic of certain screen sections.

Not a keyboard shortcut by itself, but install PowerToys.

PowerToys is an old project that gets updated all the time.

Even in 2010 PowerToys was a thing,

There are PowerToys versions that support your build version - You just need to find them.

Mouse without borders for example is a power toy that was made for Windows 7 but works on newer versions of Windows as well.

I am fairly certain that other Windows 7 era PowerToys will work if you don't find PowerToys for your OS.

They're all on GitHub, but they're kind of buried.

 

Apparently 0.35 is the last version to support 1809. After that they switched to a different UI framework that was released with 1903.

They were a thing in 1996! TweakUI was a PowerToy.

Depends on what you want to do really. In my case I most often want to snip something and immediately paste it somewhere, so it doesn't matter much whether it's saved at all.

Too many monkeys on one branch. Basically out of resources.

yeah. but that was the answer.  it has no place in a forum made for talking with other people.  so if you want to talk to a bot its not the right place to look in a forum. 

 

Technically in most forums that's basically trolling because it always contains the gatcha of "lul u were talking to bot lul".

 

Bots are not allowed on forums since forever for that reason its not something new.

Generally it is fairly obvious from the way the post is written.
