The Print Screen button on Windows computers has been associated with screen capture for decades. A new beta version of Windows 11 now opens the Snipping Tool when the Print Screen button is used.

Windows 11 beta changes what the Print Screen button does after 33 years Key now opens the Snipping Tool by default rather than copying to the clipboard.

Soon, pressing the Print Screen button in Windows 11 could launch the Snipping Tool instead of sending a screenshot to your clipboard.
