- jconnop 9y agoThat is amazing, thank you.
- dagurp 9y agoYou could also use Win+W if you want to draw on it
- rbanffy 9y agoAnd it only took them what? 30 years?
- rainbowmverse 9y agoThey had an issue with abusing monopoly power, once upon a time. It's only recently that people stopped coming at them with torches and pitchforks every time they added a feature found in third-party apps.
- Karunamon 9y agoThe cynic would say their Windows 10 behavior is a continuing abuse - including the unwarranted setting of Edge and other Microsoft apps as defaults (overriding the user's settings) after an update, the forced upgrades, and so on. Except now they have a "but it's about keeping the users safe" pretext, so they don't catch as much hate for it.
- adventured 9y ago> Except now they have a "but it's about keeping the users safe" pretext, so they don't catch as much hate for it. They're not catching much flack for it, because they're no longer feared as they were in the late 1990s, due to the devaluation of the desktop PC. It's no longer regarded as the center of the tech universe, nor is it regarded as the future economic gateway through which everything will flow (as was commonly believed 20 years ago). Back then, Microsoft stood practically alone as the gorilla of the technology industry, today that's not even remotely the case.
- rbanffy 9y agoThey could have implemented something like that since they first saw shift-command-4 in action and they'd have a couple years before the first investigations.
- criddell 9y agoThat does nothing for me. I'm running Windows 10 Pro.
- 8xde0wcNwpslOw 9y agoWhy is this downvoted? On my Windows 10, Win+Shift+S does nothing whatsoever, either. Updater says Windows is up-to-date, too.
- nailer 9y agoWorks fine on Windows 10.0.16241.0
- breakall 9y agoThis is the OneNote screen clipping tool. If you don't have Office, Win+Shift+S doesn't do anything. This is a super useful tool, but most often I paste into mspaint and mark up from there.
- willyyr 9y agoSince the creators update this is a system wide shortcut afaik. So it should work without OneNote.
- mustacheemperor 9y agoDoesn't do anything for me. Running the creator's update without OneNote or Office installed.
- dshacker 9y agoIt is just Win + S
- agentdrtran 9y agoThis works without Office, I just tried it.
- BeetleB 9y agoI believe this is a One Note shortcut. If you don't have One Note, this likely won't work. But if you do have One Note, this is much easier than using Paint.
- ygra 9y agoThat's a OneNote shortcut. Not everyone uses OneNote, though, and thus not everyone can use that. It's not a part of Windows 10.
- willyyr 9y agoLike I mentioned above. This has been added with the creators update since build 15002 and is now built in. See here for reference: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/01/09/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-15002-pc/ https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2017/01/09/annou...
- DanBC 9y agoWin + Print screen saves a screenshot to Pictures/screenshots. Printscreen copies the screen to the clipboard, and is then pasteable. (I just tried the Twitter example and it worked.) Select a window and Alt + Print Screen captures just that window. It's not capturing the screen that people are going to miss. It's making changes to those that people are going to miss. Paint just works, and is really quick.
