    SNIPPING TOOL WON'T SAVE!


    past few months and the snipping tool still can save. having to click then save as does nothing. clicking the save buttonfloppy disk button does nothing also. clicking close, then snipping tool asks if i want to save, then i click yes, but it only closes the program. i tried running powershell with the sfc /scannow, the DISM commands, and even add "PICTURES" AND "MY PICTURES" to my user's folder. are there other ways to resolve this?

    :)

    Your post is unclear. Please post a step-by-step description of what you are doing, e.g. like so:

    • Open the snipping tool
    • Click "New"
    • etc.

    Snipping tool bug - does not save a snip 1st time

    I have a Pro 64-bit (10.0, Build 17134)

    1. Open a snipping tool

    2. Click on a new snip (have a rectangular snip mode set)

    3. Take a snip and press save (black floppy disk)

    4. Choose a location, name a snip and press save

    Current result: Snip will not be saved, only if you press save (black floppy disk) again and then press save - it will ask you whether you want to overwrite it - if you choose yes, only then the snippet will be created in a given location.

    Expected result:

    Snip will be saved in a current location directly after step 4.

    Please, Microsoft, fix this bug, I am actually using your snipping tool for work, and this drives me crazy!

    This bug is here for quite some time and it haven´t been fixed.

    Apologies, if this is not a proper forum for bug report, but this is the only one I know.

    snipping tool

    You can.

    Simply change the 'Save as type' selection when you save your snip.

    The Snipping Tool remembers which type you used last and suggests this type for your next snip.
