HarriK reviving your post, I have the exact same 4 issues as yourself, May 2024 they are still a problem.

 

My main one is #1 the scaling when pasting into an email, it's huge and has to be resized every time, and #4 which are both related to the 3k screen I have on my laptop.

Was a solution ever found? I can;t seem to see many other posts like your in forums that offer any solutions.

    I have tried desperately to copy the old Snipping Tool (which used to reside in windows\system32) from both a Windows 8.1 computer and a Windows 10 computer onto a bloatware Windows 11 computer (which no longer has snipping tool in system32), but the file(s) will not execute.  Can anyone figure out how to get rid of Snip and Sketch🤬 and replace it with the old Snipping Tool?
    I don't care about editing; I paste into MS Paint for that.
