OneNote Screen Clipping tool HotKeys in Windows 10?

I use MS OneNote. Initially the Windows+S would bring up screen clipping tool..In windows 8.1 Windows+S became for search..so then I used a work around posted on the MS blog which made the Windows+A the screen clipping tool (via regedit).

https://blogs.office.com/2013/06/27/windows-8-1-preview-and-a-workaround-for-your-favorite-wins-shortcut-key/

Now with Windows 10, Window+A is for Action Center, so now my screen clipping tool does not work

How can I fix this?

I tried Windows+Shift+S and that does not work either

Or what else can I change the regedit value to?

This is an issue but there are ways. The link under will take you to a page that explanes the new way.

The only way is to go down by your clock an click the ^ button. There you see a cutting tool image for

 onenote. You right click it -> OneNote icon default -> take screen clipping. Now this icon is your new shortcut(t)

OR you use:

windowsbutton + shift + S

    Unfortunately on my windows10 new pc the tool image down near the clock creates a note dialogue box over the image to be captured and even if i get rid of that and take the clipping ... what happens to it? It doesnt cntrlV into a word file say??????

     Shift Windows S does, but on my old pc with great angst & consternation i somehow managed to have it so right-click on the onenote icon on the taskbar brought up a menu with the clipping option .... i cnat remeber how on earth i did that though .... why make it so difficult.to get to the best part of onenote by far.

    Of course, you can always use the snipping tool in Win 10. Drag the icon from the Accessories folder to the task bar so it's always available. The snipping tool gives you extra options such as pens and highlighters, so you can instantly annotate the screen clip before saving it.
