changing the function of the printscreen button

Hi,

On my laptop, if I press the Print Screen button, it opens the Snipping Tool, but on my Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, if I press the Print Screen button, it directly opens the window in which I can draw the area I want to select. It then also directly copies the image into my clipboard, so with Ctrl+V, I can paste it into a Word document.

I know it is a small difference, but I take hundreds of screenshots a day for school assignments, so those few fewer clicks make a huge difference.

Is there a way to change the function on my laptop key so that it directly opens the drawing tool and not the Snipping Tool?

Thanks in advance!

    you could try checking and changing the snipping tool settings. There are a few options to turn off and on ie Automatically save screenshots
