Windows 10: Change Prt SC key back to the way it operated in Windows 10.

Windows 10 had the easiest set up for taking screenshots. Simply press the Insert Prt Sc key and it would take a full screen shot and place it in the One Drive "Screen shot" Folder. Simple. Duhhhhhh!. Now that I have upgraded to new PC with Windows 11 I have to press two keys just to open the snipping tool then select the full screen button then press that to take a screen shot. What the hell. How can the Prt SC key be reconfigured to operate like it used to in Windows 10. Talk about over design of a simple process. Thanks

Prt sc button not working

Hi,

The Print Screen (Prt Sc) key is useful in getting screen captures and graphics on your Windows 10. If the
Prt Sc key isn't working, please answer these questions so we can isolate the cause:

• When did this start happening?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Does it happen to a specific application or to all applications?

In the meantime, you may definitely use the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot because it can also capture all of your screen or specific parts of it. Be sure to click this

link for more details on how to use the Snipping Tool.

Hope this helps and we're looking forward to your response.

Windows 11 change behavior of Prt Sc

Hi

I had Faststone Capture installed as my default screen capturing tool. Pressing PRT SC would open Faststone Capture.

Last week, I had to install Techsmith Snagit for Video recording purposes.

Now Snagit has taken over the PRT SC button as default program.

How do I set the PRT SC to use Faststone Capture as the default program?

I have looked for Settings > Hotkeys, but all I found was Default Apps in Windows 11, and this only allows me to set default programs for filetypes.
