My Prt Sc default app was taken over by Snipping tool after the Windows update. How do I switch it back to the app that I prefer before ?

Hi I had Lightshot installed as my default screen capturing tool. Pressing PRT SC would open Lightshot. However, after I did the Windows update and it used Snipping tool to take over the PRT SC button as default program and I tried to uninstall Snipping Tool but it still doesn't work . How do I set the PRT SC to use Lightshot as the default program? I have looked for Settings > Hotkeys, but all I found was Default Apps in Windows 11, and this only allows me to set default programs for filetypes.

Hello! I'm Jen, and I'd be happy to help you out with this issue.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Are the screenshots automatically saved to your Onedrive folder? If so, try unchecking this option within Onedrive settings and see if it fixes the issue. Right click on the Onedrive icon in your system tray, go to Settings, click the Backup tab, uncheck 'Automatically save screenshots I capture to Onedrive' then click OK to save the changes. Now, go to Lightshot Options and set your hotkeys for General Hotkey and Instant save options then click OK. Try taking screenshot again to see if it uses the Lightshot app this time. Let me know how it goes. Thank you.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

Best Regards!
Jen :)
