When you hit print screen, it takes a screenshot, waits a blatantly visible number of frames while you type more letters or stuff keeps moving on screen, and then eventually rewinds time by overlaying the now outdated screenshot for you to select a target area

Pressing escape can sometimes cancel out of this overlay (in case you bumped print screen by accident). But sometimes it doesn’t, because the full screen overlay in front of everything has managed to lose keyboard focus, and you need to click on it before it can respond to keyboard input.

Godawful trash OS and I hate that I’m stuck working on it.

On my very rasonably spec'd laptop it often takes 20 seconds for the snipping tool selection to pop up. Video recording is very nice though, definitely my favorite feature.

New Notepad had a broken typematic that took them 2 years to fix, but they added Copilot at the same patch. Resizing its window still rapidly still flickers and can max the CPU.

If you're using labels in the taskbar the buttons aren't fixed width, they resize to fit the window title - except that until recently they didnt, so if you cd from C:\ to a longer path you got the label "C...". That one is fixed, but not the one where I switch desktops with Ctrl+Alt+arrows and the entries have no icons.

If you have a folder with lots of audio files, sometimes explorer.exe will hang for 30 seconds while it dutifully extracts artist metadata (no way to disable). Possibly an old issue, but I've never hit it before.

Search is even worse than before, I have "alacrity.exe" both in PATH and as a shortcut on desktop, but when I type "alacr" I get a web suggestion until I fully type it out. "Visual..." toggles between VSCode and fat visual studio on every keypress.

I can't express my opinion on the Task Manager changes without using language inapropriate for this forum.

Those are my issues off the top of my head, if I record every single broken thing I see for a week this list would be way longer.

That's just the stuff that doesn't work, there's a similarly long list of things that work but are evil.

To add to your list, if you open the start menu and type “add or remove” it will not bring up the add or remove programs section in the settings menu. It will only give an internet search. To uninstall a program you have to literally open the settings menu and search for the right section. In win 10 all you had to do was type “add” and it was the default selection.

Wow, I hadn't realised it could do video as well. I installed a separate app for that purpose the other day.

Just tested on my very anaemic 5 year old laptop, it loaded in about 2/3 seconds.

I'm glad it's not just me struggling with the screenshot functionality. I've encountered the bugs you're describing, and recently, I've been encountering an incredibly frustrating one where hitting print screen just...doesn't do anything. The only way I've found to temporarily fix it is to manually open the Snipping Tool (via the Start menu) - then the print screen key starts working again for some indeterminate period of time.

Win+Shift+S. It launches the snipping tool. Its been a feature for over a decade.

FWIW, my print screen button does exactly the same thing, literally; it's opening the snipping tool in "select a region to screenshot" mode.

This is a setting in Snipping Tool (called "Use the Print screen key to open Snipping Tool").

When I encounter this bug, Win-Shift-S behaves identically (i.e. doesn't work).

Especially since it can open with selecting the area to screenshot and not have to manually crop it in Paint or be sending a 4K image to someone.
