  1. Snipping tool change to saved PNG files


    I have noticed a recent change when using the snipping tool and saving the PNG files. Upon opening any of these, all of my other PNG saved images now appear at the bottom. Deleting them will also delete the separate PNG file. Is there a setting to not show these? Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Snipping tool - change default back to save as jpg.

    On a new computer with Windows 10, the snipping tool's default is to save as a png file. I save all my snips as jpg files. It is a pain to have to change each one I save. Is there a way to change the default to save as jpg. I have looked to try to
    change the default settings, but snipping tool is not on that list.

    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. Snipping tool change to saved PNG files :(

    snipping tool

    Please try this:

    Step 1:

    Click Start, and type Snipping Tool.

    Right-click Snipping Tool from the search results, and click App Settings

    Click Reset,

    Click Repair.

    Note: In Windows 11, there is no Snip and Sketch. It comes pre-installed with the new Snipping Tool (which replaces the old Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch apps)

    Step 2:

    Turn off Focus assist if it's enabled

    Step 3:

    Open Services.msc and make sure that the following services are set to "Automatic" and running:

    • Windows Push Notifications System Service
    • Windows Push Notifications User Service
