    Snipping tool saves files hidden by default


    I recently performed a reset on my PC. The Windows accessory snipping tool now saves files as hidden by default, no matter where I save them. This problem also occurs intermittently with Save As. Before the reset, Snipping Tool did not hide saved files by default. I read that this problem occurs with McAfee antivirus software, but I use Windows Defender. Files will be saved as unhidden if I bring them into Paint or Paint.net. I have set system files and folders to be visible. Still, how do I configure the snipping tool to save unhidden files by default?

    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.

    Snipping Tool - Default Save Location in Windows 10

    Does anybody know how to change the default location for snipping tool in Windows 10? When I try to save snips, it is trying to save to a non-existent F: drive rather then opening up the file explorer. Thanks,
