It would be shorter to list the parts of Windows 11 that haven't had regressions, but one particular bug that is driving me up a wall: screenshots taken with Snipping Tool show up twice in clipboard history (Windows key + V).

This is always obnoxious but I find it particularly vexing because I am frequently doing things that involve taking a sequence of screenshots of things that are similar enough that their thumbnail images look the same, and this further muddies those pixelated waters.

@maxleibman If you're taking a sequence of screenshots, wouldn't it be better to save them each to their own file rather than copy and paste them?

@StarkRG Depends on what they are for; if I am taking them to paste into the body of an email (and I want them to appear inline rather than as attachments) or to add to a procedure document, for instance, it's easier to have them in clipboard history.

Also, Snipping Tool does save a file for each one, when I need them that way. But either way, I don't like the extra clutter in my clipboard history, which I use constantly.

@maxleibman I had a big issue where screenshots I took would not copy to my clipboard or save. Before I moved to Linux, I used to have Lightshot installed, it's way better than the Snipping Tool that Windows ships with.
It can't overwrite Win + Shift + S but I set it to Win + Shift + A and that became muscle memory.
An AutoHotkey script could ovwerwrite Win + Shift + S though, if Snipping Tool doesn't have an option to do so.
