    @Wolfboy,

    See sample here of a Snip & Sketch screen shot pasted directly in C:\Temp  folder.

    Instead of (WIN + Shift + S) you could also use the simple shortcut PrtScn key, if enabled in easy access settings, but unfortunately they recently broke the full functionality of that shortcut and it does not work for all situations.

    See this FBH report:

    Same behavior and same bug with Beta 19042.685 with Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.1070.0

    Hi,

    What the others have already said is spot-on.  I just thought would add a couple of things...

    >> Yes there is Win+Shift+S or use PrtScn, instead; the later saves pinning Snip & Sketch or opening it, 1st.

    NB: S&S has 4 Modes: Rectangle, Free-form, Window & Full screen.

    >> After something is copied it can then be 'dropped' wherever via Rt Clk & Paste OR Ctrl+V

    >> ALSO, items copied auto save to Clipboard. So, Win+V opens that... one can click on (select) any item there & then 'drop' it wherever.

    The above is applicable throughout the OS.  And now there is similar within Edge.  It is called Web Capture.  And that can be enabled either via its icon OR via Ctrl+Shift+S.  This is being called Smart Copy. But, the cool new part is being able to drop things into Folders... couldn't do that in the past.

    Anyway, it's all the same, grab what one wants, it copies & then can be 'dropped' or pasted into the body of any kind of page OR into a Folder.

    Cheers,

    Drew

    Maybe, Microsoft, you could Paste the file with the Screenshot automatically.

    Microsoft couldn't do that because they don't 

    know where you want to paste it.

    You could want it in an e mail, the forum,, etc.

    " directly into a folder of your choice in File Explorer " => 'directly' suggests something automated ... (maybe after setting up a default folder)
