Second the Snipping Tool, you can do selections or full screen, plus simple edits after. Far superior to PrtScn and then pasting in Paint.
Also check your Pictures folder, you might have been saving a new screenshot as a PNG each time you pressed it.
this is god's truth- you don't even have to copy it goes straight into the cache. Initially I was mad that snipping tool was going the way of that one version of Windows Movie Maker that was amazing for editing video. Or Zune software which was like iTunes but f iTunes didn't use 300% cpu and demand that you create a baroque library system to copy one song to your MP3 player.
but the new capture feature is the That One Version of Windows Movie Maker and Zune of taking screenshots.
since we're asking dumb questions- is there a way to copy more than one thing into a secondary paste cache? Like say I want to copy two separate sentences could I like ctrl -c one and shift-ctrl -c a second?

I've never run into this problem that I can think of.
Yes, Snipping tool is great when you're on the desktop, trying to screencap part of a browser window, for instance. But not that handy when you're in-game trying to take screenshots (depending on if game uses Print Screen or not). Steam at least has its own key binding for screenshots, and some non-steam games/launchers let you customize it.

Not sure if its what you want but you could use the cloud cache, it saves what you had copied and you can select what you paste. https://community.windows.com/en-us/stories/cloud-clipboard-windows-10
Shift+Win+S.
Also, google an app called greenshot. It a pretty dope screen grab app that also let you print directly from your windows cache, instead of then having to open a picture program like Paint to print. It also lets you save the screen grab in other formats than just jpg and bmp.

Apparently that's the answer. I hadn't even thought about multiple items... I know some third-party solutions have existed for a while.

Don't actually have a screenshots folder in pictures. I must have deleted it. I searched for a screenshots folder with Everything and found one in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Pictures\Screenshots but when I tried accessing it, I was told I didn't have permission to. Then a new item popped up. C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\browser\features\[email protected] Anyone know what that is?
Thanks.
Firefox has its own screenshot tool built-in, it's by default next to the address bar on a dropsown menu I believe.

Thanks, found it. Still wondering why that file has an email address in its name, though.
