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 issue here (Dell XPS15 - Win11 Pro)

    Lightshot is running in the background (services in the task manager) but is not visible in the tray. it does not respond to any key combination. I have also disabled the print screen in the accessibility area to not use the windows Snipping Tool. I've already reinstalled Lightshot several times, always uninstalling everything and the downloading the latest version and installing from scratch but nothing. Laptop and Windows up to date with all updates.

    Hi everyone,

    Issue was resolved for me by installing the latest windows updates.

    Please ensure to install all possible updates to see if this resolves the problem. If you are using a company-managed laptop, speak to IT about getting the latest updates approved and installed within WSUS.

    Thanks,
    Ed

    All Windows updates have been installed.

    2023-08 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5029351) was the latest one.

    Problem remains
