For an image to be subject to this issue, a user must have created it under specific conditions:\nThe user must take a screenshot, save it to a file, modify the file (for example, crop it), and then save the modified file to the same location.\nThe user must open an image in Snipping Tool, modify the file (for example, crop it), and then save the modified file to the same location.\nCommon use cases like copying the image from Snipping Tool or modifying it before saving it are not affected.\nFor example, if you take a screenshot of your bank statement, save it to your desktop, and crop out your account number before saving it to the same location, the cropped image could still contain your account number in a hidden format that could be recovered by someone who has access to the complete image file. However, if you copy the cropped image from Snipping Tool and paste it into an email or a document, the hidden data will not be copied, and your account number will be safe.",
