Snip & Sketch

Totally grateful to this tool from Windows 10. 

The easiest way to call up Snip & Sketch is with the keyboard shortcut Windows key + Shift + S. 

You can also find the Snip & Sketch tool listed in in the alphabetical list of apps accessed from the Start button as well as in the notification panel where it listed as Screen snip. 

Once you take your screenshot, it will be saved to your clipboard and show up momentarily as a notification in the lower-right corner of your screen. Click the notification to open the screenshot in the Snip & Sketch app to annotate, save or share it. Or you can paste it onto Paint for editing. I have also been able to paste it in WhatsApp web messages directly. 

I like this compared to pressing the printscreen key  (PrtScn) as I could choose the part of the screen to copy.



However, you can set the PrtScn button to open the Snip & Sketch tool by going to Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard and toggling on Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping under Print Screen Shortcut.
