Windows 10: Neither Snipping Tool nor Xbox Game Bar capture web browser pages

HistoryI recently upgraded to Windows 11. Prior to the upgrade, I used the old snipping tool pre-Window 10 which worked fine. Xbox Game Bar, however, never captured web pages on Windows 10 or 11.Both Snipping Tool and Xbox Game Bar capture app window content such as an MS Word document but web pages immediately turn solid black whenever Snipping Tool capture is attempted i.e. press “New” in the tool or I start to record using Xbox Game Bar.Attempted RepairsI have tried a variety of processes to get Snipping Tool to work:Terminated and restarted Windows Explorer using Task Manager and

How to use snipping tool to capture full page of an article

Hi Sandi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



This is a design limitation of the snipping tool



I have gone through your post and I have checked this for you. As of now, the snipping tool can be used to capture the information that is available only in the given window. It not applicable to capture the entire article/memo,
if the information you are trying to capture, exceeds the window's border, hence requiring you to scroll down to view the information.



Suggest you to refer the article Use
Snipping Tool to capture screenshots for the snip options that are currently available.



However, this is a valuable suggestion, as there may be other users with the similar requirement as yourself. Hence, I would suggest you to post your suggestion with respect to your query in the
Feedback Hub,
so that our developers can look into this for you, in order to check if it can be included in the upcoming Updates



Thanks,

Unable to "move" Captures folder for Xbox Bar Captures

Thanks for the reply!

I am unable to follow those steps. As I mentioned, there is no "Captures" folder. It points directly to the temp folder, and there is no Captures folder for me to edit. When I go into the properties on the temp folder, I have no "location" tab, so nothing can be changed.
