The Win11 screenshot tool is a travesty. It now takes multiple seconds to initialize, plus additional delay in actually selecting what you want to capture. The previous iteration was instantaneous. I have lost many opportunities to screenshot something from a screen share because of this trash performance.

I agree, even on fast hardware there is a lot of unnecessary delay trying to take a screenshot.

My old workflow from the Win2k/XP days was: Print Screen, Win + R, type mspaint, Enter, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+S, Enter, done. Still feels faster than watching my screen fade in and out for the snipping tool.

		I too have had to resort to full page screenshots. Such a complete waste for a tool that was Done.

Pressing Shift+Win+S is pretty instantaneous for taking screenshots, you don't need to open the tool.
