I'm able to launch the snipping tool, select an option and then copy based on my selection. Is there a way to launch a default snipping option so that I can create partial screen screenshots without using a third-party tool?
Essentially, I'm looking for winkey+S without having to use OneNote.
Both OneNote and SnagIt implement this perfectly. If OneNote is running, pressing winkey+S allows me to click and drag any portion of the screen, including pop-out menus with selections that are active. SnagIt does almost the exact same thing, invoked by the prt screen key.

As of Windows 10 Creators Update SHIFT + Windows Key ⊞ + S. Will open the snipping tool in rectangular select mode, the selected region will then copy to your clipboard.
