Dear experts,

After we use snipping tool to capture something, there would be notification on the bottom-right corner, asking to click then it will prompt another window for us to save the screenshot.

Is it possible to prompt the window directly, so we don't have to manually click the bottom-right corner to display it, then save the screenshot? I'm asking so because I enabled the border option and after I captured something, if I pasted it somewhere, there is no border. So I have to manually click the notification first, show the Snipping tool window where we can see the actual border, then copy it again (so it has the border).

The main idea is to copy the screenshot with the border. I didn't find an easier way to do this:(

Any help is appreciated.

    Hello!

    Snipping Tool offers settings that should make this super easy for you. If you open snipping tool, and navigate to Settings (Top right), there is an option that will Add border to each screenshot, another option for Ask to save edited screenshots, and an option that with Automatically copy changes, which copies any changes made to a screenshot straight to the clipboard. If you close the Snipping Tool window after you're done editing, it'll automatically save to your Pictures library.

    Hope this helps!
