Windows 10: Latest Windows 10 update misappropriated my "PrtSc" print screen shortcut used by my...

I'm to the point where I want to disable all future Win10 updates. You shovel bloat onto my computer with mandatory bloat I don't want, and you change my settings.


The latest update 2/3/21 disabled the "PrtSc" shortcut I was using with my screen capture app, ScreenHunter.


Win10 during the update informed me that there was a conflict, but gave me no option to remediate. NOT COOL that you would simply appropriate that key for your own apps and not give me any information on how to fix what MSFT broke.

Keyboard shortcuts to open programs:

Create a shortcut on the desktop to whatever program you want. Right click -> Properties and fill in the field there. Sadly the shortcut needs to remain on the desktop, but you can hide it.

Fun fact: If you had keyboard shortcuts for programs pinned to your Windows 7 start menu, those shortcuts still work when you update to Windows 10.

Step 2: I suggest you to check the status of
Print Spooler service and check.

Print Spooler service, spools print service and handles interactions with the printer.

Steps:

• Press Windows + R to open Run command, type
  Services.msc and press Enter.

  Start the service.
• Also, set the Startup type to Automatic.
• Now check if you are able to install the driver.

Keyboard shortcut for Screen Print in Windows 10.

I am running the latest insider preview for Windows 10. When I press PrtSc, nothing happens. When I press Window + Prtsc, I get my desired screenshot. On all my other PCs, I do not need to use the Window key in combination with Prtsc. How can I fix this?
