  2. did win +F on Win10 Creator edition, before I had no such folder/image when I pressed the combo keys you suggest
    it loads Feedback HUB, and asks to log in. I close the program and checked in;

    C:\Users\THISPC\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsFeedbackHub_8wekyb3d8bbwe found northing but empty folders, Looked in X:\Pictures\Feedback\{8708BC19-7E3B-4251-8958-0620E07EEE51} found a screen shot of what was on my screen (in this case the forum)

    I guess it takes a screenshot when you try to get help for a displayed error message, I would not call it "Spying"
    as I did not log in , did not submit anything. and easily deleted form drive.

    When I am on the plane, without internet, and doing
    a summary of contact during the trip
    A snapshot of the excel is taken as stealth picture. How bad could it be, this is private.

  4. Is Microsoft Taking Stealth Screenshots For 'Feedback' Purposes?

    Just bumping an old thread. I've not found the key command, this time around, yet; but this is a development hotkey. appears to have been "inadvertently" left in in some public releases but various [win]+*+* commands produce different screenshot + [command] actions. Just saw this pop up again on 17025.rs 1626.
    considering I'm forever using ctr+shift+esc bumping win+*+* instead is not surprising. There's a whole set of screenshot plus action hotkeys in Insider builds that take a screenshot and do something specific with it. Not always sending it outright but making it available for many tasks.
