Windows 11 Snipping Tool?

Question

The snipping tool on Windows 11 saves to a clipboard instead of providing a choice where images are stored. The Clipboard history function doesn't allow users to upload images from there. Huge design flaw. Will Microsoft fix this or do I need to find a 3rd party app?

Answer 1

Thanks, I reported as advised, but my next computer is definitely going to be an Apple. Microsoft doesn't understand the basic concepts of UI and UX.

Answer 2

Hi,

Technically, there isn't a problem with the snipping app. The problem is that the app saves to the clipboard. You can't email or upload images from the Clipboard. I am shocked that Microsoft couldn't get something as basic as screen capture right.

I will find a 3rd party app.
