Have they added the ability to have a small taskbar and disable ungrouping yet? As well as the old context menu? Those are standard features that really matter.

Those are actually the reasons I am still not using it, just waiting for them to add back basic features.

This is so fuck*ng retarded, instead of taking a fast screenshot now you have to press a button to open a program, this will probably cause problems with games that use that key to save screenshots

Yeh same, they keep adding bullshit while they should restore the basic functions we had since Windows 7.

Says WinKey+PrtScr will still take a screenshot. I personally rebinded my keyboard, so a single press on PrtScr will do WinKey+PrtScr for me. Fn+PrtScr will do the regular function. I'm using a Keychron Q6 which allows for that.

Here's an idea Microsoft: how about you add an option so people can TOGGLE which behaviour they want? Maybe have it at normal by default and then allow changing it from say Snipping Tool options? Or maybe have a dialog open up the first time with which you can select which behaviour you want? Just a thought... s also wasn't snipping tool already openable with hotkey since forever?

Not sure if I understood right but you can disable the window grouping in taskbar (so multiple windows of the same program are not also shown as a group): [spoiler]

[/spoiler] The description does not sound like it at all though and it's hidden under "multitasking". I only found it via a group by selecting more options or such.

Do you mean like this?: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/taking-screenshots-on-windows-10-and-11-is-easy-heres-how/
You can also set the PrtScn button to open the Snip & Sketch tool by going to Settings > Ease of Access > Keyboard and toggling on Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping under Print Screen Shortcut

Would be better if it took screenshots like steam and placed them into a folder

I thought it was "we know what you want better then what you want" but yah, we can go with innovative The taskbar and starmenu changes is one reason why DID not bother to modify windows11 so it could work on my system. I will never understand MS 1 step forward, 2 steps back. and those steps back are usually just them being stupid and removing things basics
