Windows 11 update hijacks the Print Screen button (from Lightshot)

If you install the Windows 11 update KB5025310 your print screen button will be assigned to the Snipping Tool in Windows. I have the screen capturing tool Lightshot installed and listening to the print screen button, but now Windows 11 hijacked it. Here's how you stop Windows Snipping Tool to listen to the print screen button.

Open "Accessibility keyboard settings"


Set "Use the Print screen key to open Snipping Tool" to "Off"




Done!

One thing I like about Lightshot compared to the Snipping Tool is that after you've selected the area to copy it is possible to resize and move that area, which is really handy if you're doing precision work. It also lets you add text, lines, arrows, boxes and freehand drawings on the copy.

Open PowerShell (or Command Prompt) in Admin mode in the current folder from File Explorer

Sometimes it can be handy to open a PowerShell (or Command Prompt) from File Explorer and directly end up in the same folder that you had open in File Explorer.

These two instructions might be exclusive for Windows 10 only, I'm not sure.

Non-admin mode
Go to the address bar, type cmd and press enter.


Admin mode
For PowerShell, press alt, then f, then s then a. Alt, f, s, a
For Command Prompt, alt, f, m, a

1. Pressing Alt will bring up this menu with hotkeys



2. Pressing f will present the next menu with a new set of hotkeys




3. And pressing opens the last menu



4. Tada: PowerShell i admin mode in the correct folder
