My PrntScr button isn't working like it used to!
I installed a Screen Recording tool called Snagit and it did something weird to PrntScr functionality. Whenever I press the button, the Snagit screen recording tools opens up. It takes forever to initialize and it's just terrible how it hijacked my PrntScr (henceforth called the button).
Earlier, when I used to press the button, it copied whatever was on my screen to the clipboard. I could simply Ctrl+V it in MS Paint, crop the image and save the file in whatever format I want.
Now, I'm forced to use the Snipping Tool which is terrible when you have a shoddy mouse. It's so hard to select the right area to crop from the screen when the mouse doesn't respond like you need it to.
I installed the open source screen capture tool called ShareX thinking it could fix the problem. I just want an easy solution where I press the button and the screenshot is saved. Sadly, ShareX couldn't fix the key. Snagit still has it.
It would be awesome if my PrtScr on Windows would work like when I'm on Ubuntu (Linux). It's so awesome how I just have to press the button and the screenshot just saves like that. No paste from clipboard required.
Dear Super Users, please help!

1This is too short for a full answer... remove snagit, as it's obviously not helping you. – Stese – 2017-05-09T06:35:13.270
