OneNote Screen Clipping tool HotKeys in Windows 10?

Anonymous

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

    Hi jma89-R,

    I cannot find "DisabledHotkeys" from the registry. Do I have to create it?

    Also ""ScreenClippingShortcutKey" doesn't exist.

    Thanks, Bruno. The "Windows + Shift + S" stopped working today. The screen clipping shortcut key was missing completely. 

    The instructions worked like a champ. It works - tested it after restart. 

    Thanks again.

    Thanks jma89-JR!  This worked for me.

    I didn't have a "DisabledHotkeys" registry key so I created a new String Value one with "S".

    Once I did that and restarted, my Windows+S is now taking OneNote screenshots.

    BTW, I didn't change or create a OneNote reg entry but most likely mine was already there.
