Alanbarker 1 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hi, I just bought a Windows 11 laptop. I'm using the latest version of Evernote. The "alt-ctrl-s" screen capture function is not working within Evernote, nor globally. Anyone using this feature in Windows 11 and have it working? Thanks, Alan Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,779 Posted December 2, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted December 2, 2021 EN brings its own helper, that will install in the taskpad (if Win 11 still has it …). The helper has options to grab a crosshairs section, a single window or the whole screen. This is how grabbing to EN works. No idea about the general screenshot feature of Win 11. Link to comment
Alanbarker 1 Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Hi, and thanks for your response. You are correct; it's there. I used it all the time in Windows 10. However, it is the same alt-ctrl-s, just activated with the mouse, and neither work... Link to comment
Level 5 PinkElephant 8,779 Posted December 2, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Well, not using Windows 11 myself, and having no plans to do so I really have no idea. But if it worked with Win10 and stopped with Win11, to me it sounds like a Windows (update) problem. I have read a lot about Win11 being more a beta than a release software. Maybe they just have not implemented it (yet). Link to comment
Wux 25 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I think for quite some time now the old screenshot tool (Alt-Ctrl-S) has been replaced with the new Shift-Win-S. Maybe you try this key combination? With the new tool you can make rectangle shots, but also polygon or freeform. 1 Link to comment
coffeeinfusion 2 Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 @Alanbarker - I just got a Windows 11 machine, and I'm experiencing the same problem. My Windows 7 and Mac can still do the region capture. Were you able to fix it by any chance? I'd appreciate any ideas you might have. I use this feature more than any other. The Windows snipping tool (ctl + alt + S) is a pain, and doesn't allow direct import into Evernote as I'm sure you've discovered. Thanks! Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted April 22, 2022 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 22, 2022 This is a problem created by Microsoft. Win 11 intercepts the screen capture. There isn't a fix yet. I'm using Win+S then pasting into a note. Not quite the old Evernote screen capture but close enough for me. A fix will depend on either Microsoft sitting out its changes or Evernote Devs working out what has changed in Win 11 and rolling out a fix. Either way I'm not expecting a speedy resolution.

grawsom 0 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Know this an old thread, but a year later nad not working in win 11, and saying it's windows - hummm. If starting the "Evernote Legacy" the {clip screen with crooshair] works fine... just for info. So why can't they make it working... Link to comment

It would be helpful to know what device you're using, plus your windows and Evernote versions, and to have a full explanation of exactly what you expect Evernote to 'fix'. Windows has certain built-in processes that are not available to any third party software. Evernote can't strongarm the OS into doing anything differently - but on the other hand there are clipping options that do work with various versions of Windows and will save or paste an image into Evernote. What's to fix? Link to comment

Perhaps because the Win+S method works just as well so it isn't a priority. I don't know the answer other than the alternative works well enough. Link to comment
