Other annoyancesĪs a many-years Linux user, I tend to fear using Windows nowadays.

Because I write tutorials here on Beamtic, I take many screenshots, and I already have a nice flow between the different apps that I use.īesides, I only expect my screenshot tool to take screenshots - if I want to draw a red circle around an object in the screenshot, I will just fire up either Gimp or Paint.NET to do my business. I still dislike these 'semi-forced' changes to my system, because they tend to disrupt my flow. My advice is this: try the new tool - you will like it! The message can not be dismissed, so you might as well just get used to it. The annoyance some users report may come from the fact that they opened Snipping Tool to take a screenshot, and got presented with the message informing them that the tool is moving. If you pay close attention, then you will notice that the new tool is actually just as easy, if not more, to use than the old Snipping Tool.

In order to take a screenshot you will not press ⊞ Win + Shift + S to open the new Snip & Sketch tool. This message appears when opening the Snipping Tool in Windows, informing users that the Snipping Tool will be replaced by Snip & Sketch as the name implies, it probably has some extra, unwanted features built-in.
