Hey Northern Viking Everyday, thank you for taking the time and effort to produce this excellent, easy to follow and understand, video tutorial of Windows 11 Snipping Tool. Coming from a Windows 7 user to Windows 11, your instructions will certainly make life easier for me in this transition.

Hello, when i click on new in rectangle mode and select where i want snip, nothing pops up afterwards e.g. image is not pasted anywhere for me to highlight etc. Also the same thing happens in full screen mode, after the 'click' screen is as is (shows press logo key + shift + s to start a snip)...

Help please?? Been driving me insane.. I've also went into the settings to repair and reset, nothing changes.

Thanks

Microsoft, please add the ability to use a rectangle to emphasize an area of a screenshot! Such a simple but extremely useful tool!

My windows no longer pops up the image after a snip to edit. So irritating, and ofc, MS official is useless and no help. Any ideas?

What happened to the "Screen Snip" shortcut feature in Windows 11 that can be found in Windows 10 when one clicks on the Notifications?

What happened to the Magic Select feature in the Windows 11 Snipping Tool? Looks like it is no longer there.

Hi Northern Viking. Love this video on how to use the Snipping Tool on Windows 11. I just switched to Windows 11 and this tool is a big upgrade over the snip tool that was on Windows 10. I love the ability to be able to mark-up an image. Awesome! You did a wonderful job expaining how it all works. Thank you for taking the time to post this. Very kind of you!

I have a lot of problems in getting screenshots. When I used the snipping tool, I could not find the saved screenshots on my computer.

[Agsgjgf]

I can't find the pictures I took with it

Great video, I have one question though . When I snip details in architectural drawings, how can I enlarge them so that I can see them bette, r before I send it to the printer?

[frederickbetts]

This was so easy that it was embarrassing...Thanks so much!!!

[shadowrealm]

So you alway need to launch it first? Hotkey not working unless?

How do you put borders around what you snip?

How do I lock a snippet after pasting it on a word document?
