Microsoft revamps Print Screen button for Windows 11 with Snipping Tool integration.

Windows 11 beta changes the default function of the Print Screen button, opening the Snipping Tool instead of copying the screen contents to the clipboard. The change will make the setting on-by-default in the keyboard accessibility settings. The Print Screen key's copy-to-clipboard behavior dates back to Windows 3.0, but the Snipping Tool has been updated in various Windows versions. Users can still use the Windows-Shift-S key combo or disable the new Print Screen setting to revert to the old behavior. Microsoft may revert this change in a future beta.

"Microsoft revamps Print Screen button for Windows 11 with Snipping Tool integration"

Microsoft is testing a new function for the Print Screen button in Windows 11 Insider Preview builds, which launches the Snipping Tool instead of sending a snapshot to the clipboard. The Snipping Tool allows users to capture a section of their screen, and users can still revert the Print Screen button's role to its traditional function through accessibility settings. The change may make the key more useful for some users, but power users may prefer to continue using existing keyboard shortcuts.

"Windows 11's Print Screen key gets a new function with Snipping Tool integration"

Microsoft is changing the default behavior of the Print Screen key in Windows 11 to open its own Snipping Tool instead of capturing an image of the entire screen. This change will be implemented in the upcoming KB5025310 update, but users who have previously modified the option in Settings will keep their chosen setting. The Print Screen key has been in need of an overhaul for a long time, and Microsoft's decision may surprise or anger some users, but it can be easily switched back.

"Windows 11 alters traditional Print Screen function for Snipping Tool"

Microsoft is planning to change the default function of the Print Screen key in Windows 11 to open the Snipping Tool instead of taking a screenshot of the current screen and copying it to the clipboard. The Snipping Tool combines features from the legacy Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch and offers various capture modes, including rectangular, freeform, window, and full-screen. Users can revert this change by going to the Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard menu and toggling the 'Use the Print Screen key to open Snipping Tool' to off.
