A new update has arrived for Windows 11 in the Beta channel — an insider program. That update will bring a divisive change that some may welcome, and others will likely hate.
When you want to take a screenshot of your screen, you can press the dedicated Print Screen (Prt Sc) button on your keyboard. That screenshot will be automatically saved to the clipboard where you can paste it into an app and do whatever you want with it. However, this won’t be the default function going forward.
