I cannot take a print screen and paste in to paint

Greenshot is one of my main staples!

ShareX, however, goes one better as you can mark-up on the fly..., then just drag the capture in...

"ScreenFOTO" is abundantly enough for me
The program allows you to take a picture of a selected part of your PC screen or take a picture of the entire screen. The obtained image can be simply saved by clicking in the program window.

I click on the icon in the bar and mark what I want to photograph with the mouse.

@Edwin, No good to me as I don't have a Print Screen Key on my Logi MX Keys, they are being phased out, as they were a hold over from Systems from before windows was available in any form :lmao:

Yeah, starting with Win95 the PrntScrn sent the job to the Clipboard instead of to the PRN/LPT port for printing. The advent of USB-connected printers didn't help. It was a change from what we had to do to accomplish tasks with DOS and Win3.x and earlier.

I can using both my MS Multi media keyboard 1.0a and my gaming keyboard. I press shift and print screen (activated a win bleep n Sounds to let me know its got it) to clipboard then opening paint press the symbol under File and it appears on the screen ready for edit. Save it in jpg and them PSE.
