Where to change the location of saved screenshot from snipping tool?
If you have auto save ON, in snipping tool, every screenshot goes to a folder called Gallery in File Explorer.
Specifically, it's: C:\Users\{username}\Pictures\Screenshots\
In Windows 11, screenshots don’t show up in the notification panel like in Windows 10. Instead, they’re automatically saved to the Screenshots folder (found in Pictures) if you use Win + Print Screen. If you’re using PrtScn without a shortcut, paste the screenshot into an app like Paint or Word first, then save it from there.
For quick edits, try Win + Shift + S to open Snipping Tool—it lets you crop and save directly. Hope this helps! 😊😀
My issue is that the "quick edits" method of Win+shift+S is NOT allowing me to select the area I want to snip and/or crop directly! It's doing the full immediate screenshot and saving it to Pictures. How can I get it to work like it did in Win10, where I could select a PORTION of the screen and have it save to my Clipboard? Anyone know? If have turned the autosave off.
