Snipping Tool - take custom screenshots of your screen
ShareX is great for this! https://getsharex.com/
WIN+SHIFT+T gives you a crosshair cursor, outline what you want, then you can doodle on it, highlight stuff, etc.
Even better, try Flameshot. Open source, cross platform, and lets you do very useful simple edits, like add arrows, shapes, text, and censoring.

I'm a Greenshot user here. Similar ability to edit and customize default actions when hitting print screen. It's the one thing I miss in Linux
Why greenshot over flameshot? Flameshot works on Linux
Wasn't aware it was available for Linux. I'll check it out
I use a ball mouse and so I can't adjust the width of the drawing tools easily. Greenshot is a little less slick much easier for me to use.
I used to use this on XP 🥲 great to hear it's still around though!
Does this have any screen recording features? Can’t seem to find any on the web page the editing feature is what has me thinking of trying it over shareX but i love screen recording with sharex too
No, it's just a screenshot program
Have you tried the built-in recorder from the game bar?
Windows Shift S. Select an area of your screen which you can then paste. Also, Alt printscreen captures the current window.
