Windows 10: Where does Windows 11 Paint "Save" not "Save As"

The Snipping tool provides the option to edit a captured an image using Paint. I clicked Save. I couldn't find the picture in the following folders, which I found from Googling:ScreenshotsPicturesDocuments%temp% = c/Users/User.Name/AppData/Local/TempWhere *does* Paint save files? Is it possible that it doesn't actually save anything when Save is clicked?I am using Paint on my laptop, not any web service.

Cannot edit images when saved in Fresh paint

Hi Kamila,

As per the information, I understand that when you save an image drawn in Fresh Paint, you are unable to edit the image once saved.

If the above is true, I suggest that you follow the steps below to save the image in a manner that will allow you to edit it.

• To save your painting right click on fresh paint and click on
  Save as. You will get an option to select the location.
• Select the location and save the painting.
• When you reopen fresh paint you will be on the painting you used before closing fresh paint. If you do not get the painting, you may click on image and go to the location and select the image to edit.

For added information on Fresh Paint refer to the FAQ below

Note: Also applies to 10

Hope this helps

Error when saving file in Classic Paint

This same problem seems to have been around since Windows XP and there are a lot of suggestions out there.

This one looked interesting. It's for Windows 7, but it might help to have a look through it:
