I know this is a longshot, but I'm wondering if there is any way to recover unsaved Greenshot image editor images.

I had about 10 images open in various image editor windows. Before I could save them, I left my desk and Windows decided that it was a good time to apply updates and restart.

I'm wondering if these images would be cached somewhere, of if they are completely lost.

I already checked AppData Local and Roaming, and all I found were config files. The program directory itself didn't have anything either.

I'm on Windows 10.

Unfortunately not. The Greenshot editor does not save images to temporary files or similar. Sorry :-/

Based on your post (restarting before saving), I would not get your hopes up. Very most likely your images are gone.

Please see:

Greenshot log file

In case you encounter things not working as expected in Greenshot, the log file might help you: it hopefully contains some information on what went wrong, and maybe even why. Greenshot’s log file is called Greenshot.log. Depending on which version of Greenshot you are using on which version of Windows, the log file can be found in one of the following directories:

If you are using the installer version of Greenshot, the file is stored in your (local) application data folder, which is a path like

C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Greenshot\ in Windows Vista and newer version

  • Log file had nothing to do with caching images.

  • But also I told you your images are gone and they are.
