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.

    I modified the Hotkey in lightshot as Ctrl + Print Screen so the default for snipper is PrtSc and for lightshot it is with Ctrl. I know this is not exact but similar way to solve until bug fix.

    Acctually solution with turning off "Use the print screen key to open snipping tool" solves the problem with Lightshot on my PC (win 11).]

    Another point but I think it is rather other case is to remember that on some PCs one needs to combine "fn" key with "prt sc" to use "prt sc" instead of F12.

    I had the same issue and solved by updating Intel's drivers via this tool. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/intel-driver-support-assistant.html

    I got tired fixing issue with lightshot not showing up in the tray and used the alternative you mentioned. It does lack a feature or two, but is a great alternative for me, as it has the feature to prompt file name dialog box before saving (you have to put some ticks in the setting to enable this feature) as I like to put in keywords in my screenshot image for better searchability of the image in the future.

    Thanks.
