Microsoft has enhanced the Snipping Tool with a convenient new feature: automatically detecting and decoding QR codes within screenshots.
A new update has started rolling out to Windows Insider testers today that will automatically detect QR codes in screenshots so you can open links from your PC.

The automatic QR code detection will appear if you enter the text actions part of the canvas in the Snipping Tool and will highlight the QR code and its clickable link.
