Useful!
The "Snip and Sketch" app intercepts it after you have taken it and lets you draw or type over the top before copying it back to the clipboard so you don't have to load your favourite graphics app to do a simple red circle or similar. You can install it for free: Get Snip & Sketch - Microsoft Store en-GB[^] but it's added when you enable Ink on a surface, which makes some sense.
I guess it's handy, but ... I'd rather this system didn't get apps without me knowing ...

I got the Snip & Sketch app (comes default with Win10), which I always use.
It's easier to just use win + shift + s though

I think it is an awesome short cut also. I will have to remember it.
So many years of programming I have forgotten more languages than I know.

did you put in a ticket with Microsoft asking them this question, because I am pretty sure none of us can answer it.

No, I don't like wasting my time.
I put in a bug report with VS2005 and I'm still waiting for it to be fixed ... in VS2019.

I think that the Snip & Sketch tool is new and supposed to be a replacement to the old Snipping tool...
Microsoft's Snipping Tool replacement gets new name, capture options - MSPoweruser[^]

Griff on Windows 7 I just use the Print Screen key and paste into Paint guess I need to try
WINKEY + SHIFT + S

It gives you more flexibility: instead of just "whole desktop" or "focussed Window" you can select just the bit you want - which can include foreground and background windows simultaneously.

Nope, they simply shut off the sound by pressing "Mutt".

After posting (8GB No Longer Enough -- The Lounge[^]) about issues with numerous processes running as svchost.exe a couple of people mentioned that I should examine the processes behind each svchost using SysInternals.
Here's a snapshot of SysInternals displaying the huge list (69 or more) of svchost.exe procs that are all attributed to Microsoft Corp (win10 processes).
I understand this is the cost of running an OS, but I just thought the list is interesting.

Here's the huge list of things that are running and it would be difficult to determine if any of these services could safely be stopped without effecting the entire system.
I see only a few that could possibly be stopped:
a) telemetry (#39)
b) payments and NFC/SE manager (#66) Why would that be running on my desktop?
c) geolocation service (#65) -- possibly but the way things are tied together it could cause other problems with network or something, I don't know.
You will probably find all of these running on your Win10 machine too.

You can turn off some of those. There's a web site that lists the ones you can/should turn off. Here's one:
[Guide] Which Windows 10 Services are Safe to Disable?[^]
Of course, you can google it and find others...

That's cool. I will check it out. Thanks

I would search for another source for that info. The list presented on my example site seemed somewhat anemic...
