I use lightshot as it's the most convenient tool for taking screen snippets I've ever experienced, but after my new laptop updated last week, lightshot is no longer running from the background. I tried to uninstall and reinstall but did not work.

    Same for me. I did not reformat however. I Have Framework 3.5 but this update "2023-KB5028017 Cumulative Update Preview for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2" is not available for me and did not installed automatically neither.

    How can I install manually this update?

    Lightshot is not visible in the tray icon. It is running in the background, as I can see its process in the Task Manager. It used to work. Probably this bug/incompatibility has been introduced with some Windows Update.

    On Tray Icon, Right click on Lightshot > Options > Hotkeys > Uncheck General Hotkeys (value must be Prnt Scrn) > Check it again > HIT "OK"

    I still have the issue.

    Lightshot is running in the background (services in the task manager). Lightshot is not visible in the tray. Lightshot does not reply to any key. I've also disabled the print screen in the accessibility area to not open Snipping Tool. I've already reinstalled Lightshot several times, always downloading the latest version and nothing. I have also formatted my laptop (windows 11) and nothing. Any solution?
