My stubbornness to relearn and move away from “printscreen+winkey+r+mspaint+enter+select+Ctenophora+c” pays off. I don’t know what it is about snipping tools (and I use sharex too” but I always find myself going back to paint, as the tools feel like they get in the way.


Try alt+printscreen. It'll only capture the active window instead of your full desktop.


Our security people disabled the PrtScn key, so our only way of doing a screen shot is the snipping tool. It is very frustrating.


I do if I want the window. Crops are something else.


I've always used "prtscn+paint" as well. I've tried various on other ways and I'll usually be like "that's kinda cool, maybe I'll try that." Next time I need a screenshot it'll already be pasted in paint far before it occurs to me "i think i forgot something, guess it wasn't important."
