Snipping tool no option to autosave screenshot

My snipping tool screenshots are not saving, but when I googled it it said to turn on Save screenshots in the Snipping tool app - however, I don't have that option. What gives? It works on my desktop, but for my laptop, the only options are "auto copy to clipboard", then immediately to "ask to save snips". It doesn't have the lever to turn on Automatically save screenshots

 

Cannot screenshot with Snipping Tool

Thanks for replying! I've done everything you suggested, but the issue still persists. To make it easier to troubleshoot, I've listed all the things I've tried so far.

System Model: OMEN Laptop 15-ek1xxx

Symptom: The Snipping Tool app opens as expected but when trying to take a screenshot by clicking on "New" inside the app or using its shortcuts (PrtSc or Windows + Shift + S), the cursor briefly changes to buffer and the app minimizes, but nothing happens.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Terminated Snipping Tool
  
• Repaired Snipping Tool
  
• Reset Snipping Tool
  
• Updated Windows and drivers
  
• Set time automatically
  
• Set time to October 30/31, 2021
  
• Enabled/disabled settings inside Snipping Tool
  
• Enabled delay and fullscreen options inside Snipping Tool
  
• Enabled notifications and priority notifications for Snipping Tool
  
• Changed Snipping Tool to run "Always" as a background app
  
• Enabled Clipboard History
  
• Enabled "use PrtSc to use Snipping Tool"
  
• Clicked on "New" inside Snipping Tool
  
• Used the PrtSc key and Windows + Shift + S shortcut
  
• Checked that the keyboard hardware is up to date and not faulty
  
• Pinned Snipping Tool to the taskbar
  

Advanced Troubleshooting Steps:

• Disabled "Do not allow Snipping Tool to run" in gpedit (Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Tablet PC > Accessories)
  
• Created the "DisableSnippingTool" key in registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC) and set it to 0
  
• Created the "EnableSnippingTool" key in registry (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SnippingTool) and set it to 1
  
• Ran sfc/scannow
  
• Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  
• Restarted Windows Explorer
  
• Uninstalled and reinstalled Snipping Tool via PowerShell/cmd
  
• Perfomed a Clean Boot
  
• Created a new user profile
  

What I have not tried:

• Enabled App Permissions Picture on Snipping Tool (the option does not show on advanced options)
  
• Ran the Windows 11 Snipping Tool Directly from the "Windows.old" folder (I do not have Windows.old folder)
  
• Reset Windows
  

 

How to be given option to save screenshot

The screenshot (using Win + Shift + S) is saved automatically to the following folder:

Ref: Screenshot a Portion of the Screen [Winkey+Shift+S]

For each screen snip, two image files would be saved. One is the thumbnail/miniature version (whose dimensions are always 364x180) and the other is the original screenshot.

• Automatically Take a Screenshot and Open it in Editor
  

Hope that info helps.

Update:

The future versions of the Windows 11 Snipping Tool will have a built-in option ("Automatically save screenshots") to save snips to the "Pictures\Screenshots" folder automatically. The feature was introduced in Windows 11 22H2 insider build 25211.
