I am sick and tired of Microsoft changing my keyboard shortcuts, I don't want this stupid sniping thing I want Print Screen - how do I restore it. I am writing a client report and you have really made life difficult for me. I am tired I do not want to sit here for hours trying to work out how to do it. I loathe the conceit of Microsoft.

Hi,
Please go to Settings by pressing the Windows key + I > Bluetooth & devices > Keyboard.
Turn off the slider for Use the Print screen key to open screen capture as indicated in the Image to solve this.
I hope this information helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Wishing you good luck!

To restore the classic Print Screen behavior in Windows 11:
After that, pressing PrtScn will copy the full screen to the clipboard again, and it can be pasted with Ctrl + V into Word, Paint, email, or another app.
If only the current window is needed, use Alt + PrtScn.
If the setting is enabled and the preferred behavior is screen snipping instead, Windows also supports that from Start > Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard by turning on the Print Screen shortcut setting.
