For as long as I have been using computers I have used the 'Print Screen' button on my keyboard to take a screen shot and copy it to the clip board. I could then paste the screenshot into a document or the canvas of a image editing program.
Now when I press print screen it makes a camera sound and opens up my screenshot to an external website https://i.imgur.com...
I am not sure how this has happened, but it happened months ago and when I have had time I have searched for how to turn this off and revert back to only copying to my clipboard. But I have not been able to find any explanation of how this happened or how to turn it off? I can't believe I am on the only one who is struggling with this.
I am able to press the Windows
key and Print Screen
key to copy screen to the clipboard.
Question is: How do I remove this link to imgur completely?
I have tried looking at the registry to see if I can work something out as I saw this stackoverflow.com/questions/28083031/… and this related stackoverflow.com/questions/55490965/…
I can confirm that I don't have ImgurSnipper app installed, nor any other apps that I can find that has caused this to happen.
check who's stealing your print screen key using the way described here How to find out what program took over control over Print Screen key?
