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.

    Unbelievable :) I did the same (BIOS updates for my DELL XPS) along with Windows optional updates and actually, I thought that the optional updates helped me but now I'm not sure...

    So, it's either a specific issue for DEL laptops only or maybe for other laptops as well...

    It's a bit strange but looks like it's worth updating your BIOS also.

    After updating the BIOS of my DELL XPS, the Lightshot Icon on the Tray is back!

    I am already disabled "Use the print screen key to open snipping tool": Setting -> Accessibility -> Keyboard -> Use the print screen key to open snipping tool.

    Then I set the Prnt Scrn for Lightshot in Lightshot setting: Options -> Hotkeys -> General hotkey -> Select Prnt scrn again -> save.

    And now I can use the Lightshot with Prnt Scrn key
