When I had windows, I used GreenShot. I'm not sure if it's still around though. An important feature is (imo) to quickly upload to imgur or alike. Often I do screenshots to show something to another person.

Nowadays I often see gyazo links, but I don't know it first-hand.

GreenShot still is around and maintained.
Imgur is my go-to service for quick img share, as well :)

I second greenshot, the quick built in editor is a game changer especially if you need to blur out any sensitivity info on the fly. Lightweight and easy to use, it’s one of the first things I install on any new windows pc.

+1 , I use it also , what I like about it it's that he freeze the image so you can capture hover effect .
If u don't care for hover try the built-in snipping tools , just search for snipping tools in windows search.

I use greenshot as well. I set it up to save to a directory and copy to the clipboard automatically, and not open up the editor.
