Got a lot of users complaining about slowness in the Snipping Tool on virtual desktops since Windows 11. Anyone got any tips on dealing with this? The Windows 10 version is so much snappier

greenshot is free

Can it integrate so it launches when the user presses Win + Shift + S?

i think my users hit prnt-screen to activate it, but perhaps you can assign different hot keys

yeah, greenshot is much more customizable

Will give it a try, but you know what users are like - wish there was a way to get the old one back, like you could with the Calculator, but the old Snipping Tool just won't run on Windows 11

W11 Snipping tool expects GPU acceleration, so unless there's vGPU there... 🐌 best off all there's no way to disable GPU acceleration for snipping tool and snipping tool only. this can be sooommewhat mitigated by disabling all animations/blur/shadow/etc effects, but it's still slower than it's old w10 counterpart (FWIW we see the same with Snag-It default settings in our environment, but Snag-It DOES have a disable HW acceleration setting)

What an absolutely stupid idea for a software "enhancement"

Another vote for greenshot, been using it as a alt to the built-in snipping tool and slow-ass Snag-IT for years

Greenshot shop here too, very happy

i moved to greenshot due to the issues with snipping tool months ago, i just tested snipping tool and it's working smoothly. what CVAD and W11 version are you on?
