    Beta News[^]:

    Microsoft is not shy about introducing controversial changes to its software, even if feedback forces it to reverse course further down the line.

    It will now screen your printing?

    You really didn't need to print that single sided, did you? This "feature" should last at least until the next build.

      While this is unlikely to be too controversial a change, it is still one that will annoy a number of users. It is also something of a strange decision; not only does it change the role of a key that has served a very specific function for -- literally -- decades, it also pushes one of Microsoft's own tools at people.

      I have the snipping tool in the quick launch and although I use it pretty often, I still use the PrtScr even more.

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

        I'm just used to using Win + Shft + S now to take screenshots, I don't think I've used the print screen button in years :laugh:
