Hello! I'm Jen, and I'd be happy to help you out with this issue.

Please follow these steps to recover the unsaved recording from snipping tool. Press Windows + R to open the Run command window. Copy-paste this path: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_8wekyb3d8bbwe\TempState and press enter. It should open the Recordings folder from the snipping tool.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

Best Regards!

Jen :)

    I recorded my screen, and the video was 2hrs long, and it saved only 44minutes of 2 hours. It lost the rest of it, and I did the command with this, and it's not there. Only the shorter 44 minute version. I didn't edit it; is there a max length that can be recorded with snipping too? Reminds me of Zoom's 45 minute block honestly, please help
