That is how I am putting ShareX, an open source screen capture utility which works with Windows 7, 8.1, and 10 through its paces on my Windows 10 systems. Although you can manually save them using either of the current utilities, it adds a few extra steps to the process. If you capture just the active window or a region of your screen, then those snippets must be saved manually or they are lost from your clipboard when you save the next snippet.

These utilities do just fine and the Snip & Sketch app is well integrated into Windows 10’s sharing feature of the OS and of course, pressing the Windows Key + Print Screen buttons gets you a full screenshot of your desktop saved to your Pictures > Screenshots directory. It is still in the operating system after the update however, being labelled deprecated means it could be removed in a future update to Windows 10. Windows 10 has some very decent screen capture capabilities that are provided by the popular Snipping Tool and now the Snip & Sketch app.īoth of these have their pros and cons and currently Snip & Sketch is on track to replace Snipping Tool as the latter has been deprecated in the October 2018 feature update for Windows 10.
