Windows 7 /8.1 /10 is bundled with the Microsoft genuine screen capture software Snipping Tool.
And
If you update to Windows 10 v1809 (October 2018 Update) or later, the advanced version of Snipping Tool "Snip & Sketch" will be added.
"Snip & Sketch" (English name: Snip & Sketch)
Therefore,
You don't need to install screen capture software such as WinShot.
It doesn't have the ability to click on the notification area icon to do a screen capture like WinShot does, but there are keyboard shortcuts available instead.
- Free-form region clipping
- Cut a rectangular area
- Cut window area
- Cut full screen area
- Delayed capture (Windows 10 Snipping Tool | "Snip & Sketch")
- Trimming ("Snip & Sketch" only)
- Character addition
- ... etc
Quiet talk suspension.
I have investigated the Snipping Tool and the "Cut & Sketch" capture function and will share it with you.
- Snipping Tool (Windows 7)
- Snipping Tool (Windows 10 v1909)
- Snip & Sketch (Windows 10 v1909)
Function comparison
There is almost no difference ...
If you need lazy capture, you need a Snipping Tool other than Windows 7.
"Snip & Sketch" has a keyboard shortcut that launches in capture mode.

delay
* Windows 10 only
Windows 10 v1809 and later versions can use "lazy capture".
Delayed capture is a function that delays the timing of taking a snapshot between 1 and 5 seconds.
This is a useful function when you want to capture a dialog such as a drop-down list that takes more than two steps.

Cancel
Cancel the area cutting.
option
☑ Check box to switch ON /OFF
- Do not show description text
- Always copy the crop area to the clipboard
- Add URL below crop area (HTML only)
- Ask if you want to save the crop area before exiting
- Snipping Tool Show screen overlay when active
- Ink color

Snip & sketch
How to use "Snip & Sketch"
- Start menu
- Keyboard shortcut
Windows logo key + Shift + S
[Cut Now | Cut in 3 seconds | Cut in 10 seconds]

[Immediately after startup]

When you want to take a snapshot , press the Windows logo key + Shift + S to start "Snip & Sketch" in capture mode.
An icon is displayed at the top of the desktop, and you can use four cutting modes.
Move the cursor over the icon and a description will pop up.

Summary
If you're using Windows 10 v1809 or later, you can use both Snipping Tool and "Crop & Sketch".
When you start the Snipping Tool, a button that guides you to "Snip & Sketch" is added.
That means
Snipping Tool may be removed from Windows 10 in the near future.

Used together with IrfanView
It is convenient to use IrfanView and "Snip & Sketch" together.
IrfanView has a screen capture function, and keyboard shortcuts are also available. Then the user can change it to their preferred key.
You can take a screen capture every time you press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F11 .
Set the capture mode of IrfanView to "Active Window" and call "Snip & Sketch" from the keyboard when you need to cut the area.
WinShot is attractive because it allows you to perform capture operations from the notification area icon, but I refrain from using it because it has an old design and is incompatible with Windows 10, but if you set it properly, it will work comfortably on Windows 10.
Please read the related article for the adjustment method when using WinShot on Windows 10.
