    Snipping Tool mysteries


    Can not find where the default save is in Snipping tool ?...and there is no response when I try to use save as or save to a different default location...also can not find any option to save as jpg - png etc

    Clicking save does nothing...the only time I have an options is if I close the session then it asked me whether I want to save the clip...no choice as to what extension or what location to save to...

    Snipping tool works...but have no idea what it is saving (format) or where it's saving to ?

    There is no response to save as or save to options...it just is saving the snippets when I close the app somewhere

    Is there a way to 'activate' the options so I can save as picture.?? or save to options ?

    Thanks....TiminAz

    :)

    Snipping Tool

    Hi Bob,

    There are several possibilities as to why the Snipping Tool screen overlay is not working as intended. This can include a recent update, system files that got corrupted or app settings that need to be changed. For us to resolve your concern, kindly answer
    the questions below:

    • Were there any recent changes made or updates installed prior to the issue occurring?
    • Were there any error messages that showed up when you attempted to use the Snipping Tool?
    • Which version and build of Windows 10 is installed on your device?

    We look forward to your response to our queries.

    I think you would need to do two snips then join the resulting images together using a 3rd party app such as Paint.net

    If you have setup OneDrive it will probably be saving it to the Picture Folders there and the default format is .png I'm not sure if you can change that to jpeg or gif. If you have not setup OneDrive I'm pretty sure it will go to your Pictures Folder. If you do end up getting it to save to a location of your choice it will remember that choice until you use something like CCleaner
