I have recently switched back to windows from Ubuntu.
I am having problems with the in-built screenshot clipping tool activated by Shift+Win+S
Although it works the way I want it to, and similar to the in-built Ubuntu screen clipping tool, it can be very slow.
If I make a screen clipping I have to wait for a few seconds before I am able to paste the results.
I haven't noticed anything else being slow and I have a relatively new laptop.
Why would this be? Is there some alternative tool which is still simple but more reliable for windows?

1ctrl + win + s is the speech recognition tool for me. Are you referring to the snipping tool? – spikey_richie – 2019-03-05T10:45:38.553
@spikey_richie sorry, yes i meant shift! – James – 2019-03-05T11:16:01.593
Using shift + win + s just puts it straight onto the clipboard, rather than showing you a preview in the snipping tool. This for me works very quickly, with seemingly the only lag in how long it takes me to ctrl+v into mspaint. – spikey_richie – 2019-03-05T11:21:27.980
@spikey_richie yes, for me there is a long lag, up to a few seconds where if I press ctrl v it will just paste the previous item in the clipboard – James – 2019-03-05T11:27:59.500
Win+PrintScreen would be faster if you don't need to crop right away – phuclv – 2019-03-05T12:34:02.387
@phuclv i would like to crop right away - do you know why it would be slow, and what would be causing it? – James – 2019-03-05T12:41:14.223
