Comments: It came as a part of Win 10, I never installed it separately. Just press Ctrl + Win + S

Thanks Paresh, I think this one is a common underestimated tool that serves its purpose just fine.

The other option for those who use Windows + Microsoft Office is to use OneNote (I guess shortcut key was Ctrl + Shift + S).

Benefit there is that it keeps your screen captures in a notebook, which you can use it later if needed. I used it heavily for technical documentation as you don't have to worry about saving your captures in jpeg/png.
