The clipping tool was overhauled in the Windows 10 1809 update (October 2018), the screenshots are saved to clipboard only. Being able to capture with various methods by using the Print Screen key only (alternatively Windows+Shift+S) without third-party software makes this feature highly beneficial, but the clipboard limits the potential. For instance, I don't think that the Stack Exchange image uploader can handle any clipboard data.

Pasting to some image editor such as Paint, then exporting isn't an acceptable answer.

    You know `WinKey+Prt Sc` saves a full-screen screenshot to your "Screenshots" folder, right? – Keith Miller Mar 15 '20 at 14:46
  • @KeithMiller: Essentially always I want to select an area of the screen. This hotkey also hasn't worked for me for quite some time, but that's another topic. – user198350 Mar 15 '20 at 17:27
