Screenshot app for windows 11

Greenshot i have used for many years but often i have open the menu for the app,program to start taking a screenshot when i press prtsc

2024-07-18 11_12_02-Greenshot.jpg

Can i fix it or get another free program to do it for me

If i just use prtsc i don't know where the f... it's stored in windows and takes to long time to access it compared to greenshot i can predefine how i wanna take the screenshot and where to store it

I just wanna use something that works evey time and stores the screenshot in a predefined place (desktop folder with screenshot)

Considering you're already using Greenshot, give Snaggit a try?

Thanks that works

Would have been nice if it would save it to a predefined folder without asking for it every time
Default hotkey for instant save of fullscreen is [Shift + PrtSc]
Can be changed in options.
But apparently you can't set the folder, it remembers the folder you last saved in and will put it there.

I use the PrtScr keyboard button, and Paste in MSPaint.

Then save it as whatever image file type I want to use (usually .jpeg).
