    Hey, how you doing?

    Thank you for contacting us and welcome to the Microsoft Community.

    My name is Vitor. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

    To check Snipping Tool unsaved files, follow the path:

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState

    1. Press Windows + R keys to open Run.
    2. Type the path %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState
    3. Inside the Recordings folder will be the videos.

    Thanks

    Vitor S.

    This was helpful - and the only way I could have found my screen recording.

    But I was also quite puzzled as to why the snipping tool doesn't have a simple and obvious save process / pathway to what are it's core functions. Surely that is an easy update for Microsoft -and one that would make the tool so many times more friendly?

    Seems odd to me, to have to goggle - to find out where screen grabs a clip recordings might be stored.

    cheers

    Matt
