Opening Created Screenshot with Snip and Sketch

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 4

Hello there,

I've been trying to create a flow that will take a screenshot of my selected window, save it to a folder, then open it on Snip and Sketch. I've been able to figure out how to get time and date, convert them to text so as to name the file, save it with the formatting, and open the file with a program (I've tested it with Paint, and it works fine). However, I can't seem to figure out how to open it with Snip and Sketch.

I've tried telling PAD to run the app on "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_10.2008.3001.0_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe\ScreenSketch.exe" (which is where Task Manager says the app is) with no success.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    It is likely because of the fact that the WindowsApps folder is by default protected by the system and you are denied access to it, even if you are a local admin on the machine. You will need to first navigate to the folder and use the Security tab on it to give your user permissions to access it. Then try seeing if PAD can run the app.
