I use win+shift+s instead of PrintScreen as I don't have to move my hand across the keyboard to the right or let go of my mouse.

Same, my 75% keyboard doesn't even have a PrntScr button.

Snipping Tool is just plain better than PrintScr anyway. It has most of the important features you'd get from a third party screen capture tool. (Most importantly, the ability to capture just one window or a selection from the screen. That's so much more convenient than pasting a full-screen screenshot into an image editor and then cropping it down.)

 

PrintScr is a relic of a bygone era, where it would dump your current screen of text to the printer. It literally meant "Print Screen".

I think the've recently updated PrintScr to automatically open SnippingTool because I just tried it and it does work like that.

 

But I have the same issue as @PowerPCFan that I have to use Fn+P because of my small keyboard to open it. May as well just stick to my muscle memory

When I had my old 100% keboard, I would do Windows+Print Screen which does an immediate fullscreen screenshot. But correct, now just pressing printscr opens Snipping Tool, just like Win+Shift+S.

Just react to the post next time if you're going to quote 2 paragraphs and reply with an affirmation.

Copilot will probably be like Microsoft Edge - there is a way to remove it, but it's extremely precise, difficult, and time-consuming! 

And they regularly update things to make it harder and harder to remove it.

yeah, every time someone finds a registry hack or something for these things, Microsoft releases an "emergency quick fix update!!" that reinstalls what you spent days removing.
