TL;DR Summary

Microsoft is changing the default function of the Print Screen key in Windows 11 Insider Preview builds to open Snipping Tool instead of taking a screenshot and copying it to the clipboard. Users can revert back to the original behavior if desired. This change may annoy some users and push Microsoft's own tool at people, but it is still being tested and subject to user feedback.
