    Snipping tool closes after Saving. Where is it saved and how can I change the location...


    When I try to click the save icon on Windows 11 Snipping tool it does not function as a Save As. It closes afterwards with the Screenshot lost and I can't find it. Where is it saved and how can I change the location where it is saved?

    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.

    Windows 10 snipping tool no longer saves

    Recently, my Windows 10 snipping tool has stopped saving files. I can do everything in the snipping tool except save or "save as". I don't know when this started, but it's been within the last month. When I snip something and choose "save as", no window
    comes up prompting me for a save location. If I snip something and just try to close the tool I'm prompted on whether or not I want to save and even clicking on "Yes" just exits the tool with no save.

    If anyone has any ideas, I'd like to know.

    Change Snipping Tool save location on Windows 11 22H2

    Yes, I've seen that, but that changes the entire folder's location, not just snipping tool's save location. I have other apps that are welcome to put things in that folder.
