Windows 10: Snipping Tool

Thanks, that works. Will test after a restart or shut down. I could easily be wrong, and maybe someone still on 8.1 can verify, but I seem to remember under Options, another tab that let me pick a default Save To folder. Thanks for the Help.

update- the last 'save to' setting is lost at restart. default last location only good for session *cry

 

I know where my snipping tool is and how to use it. However, when I click on the tool to use it the screen goes gray. It is not working! Any suggestions on how to fix it?

 

Hi, I had the same problem. I've found the source of my problem. It was the IBM Security Trusteer Rapport software. It has an option to block screen capture. This must have been switched on when I upgraded to Windows 10. I have switched this off and the Snipping Tool now works with Firefox. I had always workded with other applications.

 

I found snipping tool but can't use it as I did (a lot) on windows 7. Keep getting just a black rectangle instead of the expected section of the screen. What am I doing wrong and why won't it work as it did before downloading Windows 10?

 

Are you using the Trusteer Rappport software for protection? My Snipping tool worked OK on Windows 7 with this software, but not after I installed windows 10. Snipping tool stopped working on Firefox. I had same problem as you. The setting in Rapport had been changed. See earlier post.

Hope this helps.

 

Sorry, daisy6, I realized just too late that I'd missed your contribution (I've been rightly told off). I've sent a comment to Trusteer.

 

Hello There, I don't have the Snippet Tool showing up under "S". Now what? :-(

 

Click the start icon. Start typing snip

 

It is not under S.
It is under W > open Windows Accessories > Snipping Tool is on the list.

 

This is in All Apps > Windows accessories

 

I have recently came across a very good guide, it can solve many problems that people face like Where to find snipping tool in windows? etc., I found it as best.

 

I also have this problem. It's not showing but it is on my insider machine. So on this one I have pinned it to my taskbar as I use it a lot.
