Disabling the Snipping Tool Opening with the Print Screen Key in Windows 11

After updating Windows 11, I noticed that whenever I press the Print Screen key, it opens the Snipping Tool instead of capturing the screen and saving it to the clipboard as it used to in previous versions of Windows. While I understand the benefits of the Snipping Tool, I prefer the previous behavior where the Print Screen key directly captured the screen without launching any additional tools.

Is there a way to disable the Snipping Tool's activation when pressing the Print Screen key in Windows 11? I would like to restore the original functionality of the Print Screen key, where it automatically captures the screen and saves it to the clipboard.

I have searched through the Windows settings and control panel but haven't found a solution. Any guidance or alternative methods to achieve this would be highly appreciated.

Hello, and welcome.

You can use an option in the tutorial below to turn off to use the Print Screen key to open screen snipping.

That's annoying that new ahem, feature. I've turned that off.
