I recently discovered greenshot. It's not perfect but I found it covered 95% of what I wanted while putting together some tutorial content recently (drawing decent arrows, highlighting important regions, etc)
Try ShareX, I used to use Greenshot but ShareX has more features like video recording.

you should take a look at sharex it is the most amazing piece of software running on windows.
I am amazed it hasnt been ported to linux yet
When I was using Windows, I used ShareX that was working really well.

Windows 10 has a very nice app called Snip & Sketch. Just type snip after pressing Windows button.

It's good for captures, but awful for annotations. Try the following:
- Draw a straight line on an image (you have to pick the ruler, then draw along the ruler)
- Drawn an arrow on an image (not freehand)
- surround something with a box
- Add some text
It just falls too short
I’ve been quite happy with Lightscreen on Windows.

I second that. It's stupid powerful, and costs only 20$ for lifetime licence.
Lightshot comes the closest to a decent, light, free alternative but it's still not ideal.
The built in Windows tool is nice (win + shift + S) but there's no arrows, it's a faff to get straight lines and it's just up to the quality of the OSX tools.
I started making one but like all side projects it just sits there waiting for that elusive "free time".
Thanks
