Re: [TECH]:: WINDOWS 11 SCREENSHOTTING

Cynically, yes, but they've replaced the older "Snipping Tool" and captured
PRTSCRN to open the new one, it actually works reasonably well but like you

So, when Win 10 drops out of support I'll image and archive the installs
then wipe them all to install my preferred Linux distro.
