I had to disable the Windows snipping tool shortcut after a certain Windows update (MS made it the default for print screen), but other than that it's been fine for me.

Why ALT?
For me it has always worked without. Is it an US thing?

Using ALT makes it just capture only the current window rather than the entire screen.

Windows+Shift+S for their Windows 11 snipping tool, which lets you control what you want to get.

What if you want the whole window?  Seriously though, that's actually cool to know.
Windows has enough built-in options. I wouldn't install another tool for this.

What happens is Windows+Shift+S pops a bar from the top center of the monitor. There are 4 options (modes) on it: rectangle, freeform/lasso (just draw with mouse and get what you enclose), window, and full screen. Just click what you need. If one of the first 3 options, then you use the mouse to determine what you get. For window mode, just click into a window to get all of that window.
Unfortunately, you can't take a screenshot of the snipping tool's bar as it disappears when you start use any of the modes.

Greenshot
Win+Shift+S on Windows 10+ if no serious modification needed

TechSmith Capture[^], formerly know as Jing
It allows image and video capture, basic annotations, and free online sharing (it hosts the videos for free and you get an access link you can share with anyone).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Screenpresso (https://www.screenpresso.com[^]), unless you need it for commercial use. It is free for personal use

I tell you what, I love SnagIt because its editor gets it right when it comes to annotating a screenshot after capture. Plus, for me, I can drag and drop out of the preview window into an email without saving the picture for those quick notes. Saves me clutter in my saved folders. The video capture is pretty nice as well. As for free software, a lot of other users where I work have/had PrintKey 2000[^] installed. Not sure how up to date it is.

I like the Snipping Tool included with Windows.

Greenshot is the best IMO. And it's free.
Greenshot for Windows
Very versatile so you can configure it to suit your workflow and preferences.

Wow. I just read through this thread. I didn’t know there were so many ways to do that.
I’ve just been using my phone to take a picture.

Windows Key + Shift Key + S key
Use mouse to highlight what you want to copy, then paste into Paint.
Free.

Greenshot is good but lately I've just been using the built in screenshot capabilities of Windows 10 or 11.
For creating animated GIFs I use ScreenToGif.
