Windows 10: Snipping Tool Autosave on receive Couldn't Save Screenshot error

When I go into the snipping tool settings and turn on Automatically save screenshots, when I create a screenshot I receive the below error: Since last MS update is this feature now broken? Running Windows 11 version 23H2 Os Build 22631.3447

How to change the Snipping Tool autosave location?

Currently when you take a screenshot using Snipping Tool (windows key + shift + s) it autosaves the image to a path that ends in TempState\ScreenClip. This is a bit frustrating because the folder contains two versions of the image and a .json file, and the folder is difficult to locate unless you pin it.

I'm wondering how I can change the auto save folder for Snipping Tool? I'd like it to autosave screenshots to my pictures folder or a folder within pictures. I also just want the screenshot to save, not a second lower quality version and a .json file.

I know you can open the screenshot in Snipping Tool and click save and choose a folder, but that's extra steps rather than just taking a screenshot and it autosaving to a folder. I also know that windows key + print screen will autosave to the pictures folder but that takes a screenshot of the whole desktop and sometimes I only want a selected section.

I did a bit of a Google before posting this and couldn't find an answer, but maybe I didn't look hard enough so apologies if this has already been answered.

TLDR: how to change Snipping Tool's autosave folder from TempState\ScreenClip to Pictures\Screenshots.

 

Snipping tool no option to autosave screenshot

My snipping tool screenshots are not saving, but when I googled it it said to turn on Save screenshots in the Snipping tool app - however, I don't have that option. What gives? It works on my desktop, but for my laptop, the only options are "auto copy to clipboard", then immediately to "ask to save snips". It doesn't have the lever to turn on Automatically save screenshots
