If the screenshots script gets stuck while taking the first screen on
Windows, there might be an issue with the ShareX settings.

Extract the `ShareX-15.0.0-portable.zip` into the resources directory, so that the
`ShareX.exe` is located under `{path-to-rancher-desktop}\resources\ShareX\ShareX.exe`.

If the script is just hanging while taking the first screenshot, you can try to:

1. Set the `RD_ENV_SCREENSHOT_SLEEP` environment variable
[as explained here](#environment-variables).
2. If the first option doesn't resolve the issue, try to disable the ShareX sound and
toast effects.

In order to do so, uncheck `Play sound after capture is made`, `Play sound after
task is completed` and `Show toast notification after task is completed` at: ShareX
menu -> Task Settings -> General -> Notifications.

### Linux

`gnome-screenshot` is required. See https://github.com/GNOME/gnome-screenshot
