Windows 10: Unable to remove Snipping Tool default use of PrintsSreen key on Windows 11

Hello, I just got a new laptop with pre-installed Windows 11. I want to use a third party app to make screenshots instead of the default Snipping Tool. I uninstalled the Snipping Tool and edited the register to disable it following this tutorial: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/disable-snipping-tool-in-windows-10, but even after all of this, pressing the PrintScreen key still opens a Snipping Tool window. I can't get rid of it. This is what I see when I press the PrintScreen key: https://ibb.co/8mvMTXV If Snipping Tool is gone, what even is this window I am seeing?Isn't there any way to

Unable to mail the snipped clip from Snipping tool option on Windows 10.

Hello Jensheahan,

Before assisting further, I would like to ask you few questions:

Snipping Tool will not work (Windows 11)

Hi.
When I attempt to use the snipping tool (Windows key + Shift + S), nothing happens.
I have checked the internet for suggested solutions (of which there are about 11) and applied most of them; the only thing I didn't try was to revert to a previous Windows version but I'm not going to do that. This problem began following the recent Windows 11 update to Version 21H2.

I am using:
Windows 11 Home
Version 21H2
OS Build 22000, 1098

No updates are pending.

The snipping tool is a critical tool so it's broken functionality causes significant problems. So far, I have not found any snipping app that usefully replace the snipping tool.

I'd be grateful for a solution.

(PS, I have no idea which "Product" Option is the correct choice to direct this post to the correct Microsoft Community!!! "Internet Explorer" seems the least ridiculous response but I have Version 11 on Windows 11 and the Windows Version list does not offer a windows 11 option. Why is this so difficult? This problem presumably has nothing to do with Microsoft Edge,the "Product" I selected where asked below, as it is not in use though it is installed.)
