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.
I've been using the open source ShareX screenshot tool: https://getsharex.com/
Win+Print = takes screenshot and saves to Pictures/Screenshots/
Pressing Shift+Win+S is pretty instantaneous for taking screenshots, you don't need to open the tool.
alt-prtscn still works to take screenshot of active window instantly
