Hey all, After updates, I seem to have lost the ability to save a screenshot to the clipboard in paint on my HP laptop.

Used to be as simple as hitting print screen, going to paint and clicking on the clipboard which brought the picture up. Now there is no longer a clipboard there when I go into paint. Unbelievable, but it's just gone and I have no clue what replaces it. I've watched YouTube videos and googled all over but nothing seems to work.

Has anyone else dealt with this? Thanks!

What is the OS on your machine ? Windows 11 has a different way to save a screenshot:

 

1. Press Prt Scrn,

2. Select the area you wish to get

3. Open Paint and hit Ctrl+V

4. Save Paint image.

 

Regards.
