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

    This was the most helpful. I was running a damn app, not OneNote the actual product, and so nothing was working, I could not even find a setting for screen clipping. After running the real program, registry entries now exist, and windows shift s works by default. Thank you for making a new user to Windows 10 feel embarrassingly silly!

    one note is active

    any hotkey tries of windows key + s or including the alt key lead to search function and never to screen clipping

    Of course, you can always use the snipping tool in Win 10. I dragged 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.

    And it also avoids compatibility issues with the shortcut key combo and other apps, or problems after One Note updates.
