Windows 10: Snipped images wont save to computer.

I use the snipping tool to keep screenshots and remember important information. This computer is new, and I have found out that ti doesn't save my images anywhere on my computer. I would like some help as the only way I know how to save images is to paste them somewhere, like a google doc, but it tends to get annoying. Please help!

Snipped images won't save;

I have recently upgraded my Lenovo ThinkCentre desktop to Windows 11. I frequently use the snipping tool to copy images. I then save them to my pictures folder. Since upgrading, however, Snipping Tool images won't save. I follow the standard procedure: snip the image (no problem); click the "save as" icon in the upper right corner; the directory pops up; I write a file name; click save. I then get a popup "File not found." It's as if the Save As command is actually a search command and, of course, it can't find the file I'm trying to save. Any suggestions? (I'm not much of a tech person.) Here's a photo I just tried to save and the message I get:

 

Snipping Tool Enlarging Images

Hi Heather,

Snipping Tool has various options on how you can capture images in your computer. To change it to normal snipping, follow the steps below:

• Press Windows + S to open Search Box.
• Type Snipping Tool, then click it.
• Click New.
• Click the drop-down menu in New.
• Select Rectangular Snip.

Let us know if this works for you.

 

Snip Tool won't save directly

My snip tool won't save snips at all unless I manually go into the snip tool and save it from there. I'm running Windows 11.

I have all of these enabled:

• Snipping tool notifications
  
• Use the Print screen button to open screen snipping
  
• Save Snips
  

I've created a new user profile, turned off and on all those various settings, updated my computer fully, and rebooted.

I talked with someone in tech support at length but he was stumped too since I have the "Save Snips" option enabled.
