I just installed LO 6.3.1.2 on my Windows 10 machine. I take a screenshot using Windows' built-in "Snip&Sketch" app. I can't paste it into LO Impress. I *can* into powerpoint. Pasting screenshots into Impress/PPT is essential to my workflow. "Save to file on disk" won't work, too inconvenient.
Please identify the clipboard format(s) the "Snip & Sketch" app places on the system clipboard. A tool like NirSoft "InsideClipboard" [1] should suffice for you to provide a screen clip. But, if normal Paste (Ctrl+V) is not working, very likely you will need to use LibreOffice's paste special (Ctrl+Shift+V) and select one of the offered image formats. If none are compatible with what the Microsoft app is placing on the system clipboard we may have to develop a new import filter for the clipboard content. =-ref-= [1] https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/inside_clipboard.html

I am not David Strozzi, but I am dealing with this bug, and I have the info! When I run Inside Clipboard on what's clipped from Snip&Sketch, I get: Clipboard Items Created by using InsideClipboard Format ID Format Name Handle Type Size Index 2 CF_BITMAP Bitmap 0 2 49397 PNG Stream 23,994 3 49711 CanUploadToCloudClipboard Memory 4 4 49712 CanIncludeInClipboardHistory Memory 4 5 49715 ContentSourceUserActivity Memory 794 1 It turns out that I *can* paste this into a blank IrfanView window, then re-copy to the clipboard & paste it into LibreOffice, no problem. I am not capable of truly debugging at this level, but I can follow instructions!
Further info: When I paste into IrfanView and then Ctrl-A Ctrl-C, Inside Clipboard sez: Clipboard Items Created by using InsideClipboard Format ID Format Name Handle Type Size Index 2 CF_BITMAP Bitmap 0 2 8 CF_DIB Memory 570,640 1 17 CF_DIBV5 Memory 570,724 3 HTH
I guess NEW per confirmation. Note that you should be able to work just fine with the usual workflow: pressing PrtScn/PrintScreen button on your keyboard instead of using an app.
Windows 10 Home 64-bit en-US (1909) Dumping sys clipboard with InsideClipboard MS 'Snip & Sketch' outputs: Format ID - Format Name - Handle type - Size - Index 2 CF_BITMAP Bitmap 0 2 49279 PNG Stream 119,369 3 49842 CanUploadToCloudClipboard Memory 4 4 49846 CanIncludeInClipboardHistory Memory 4 5 49853 ContentSourceUserActivity Memory 794 1 <Ctrl>+V, menu, or mouse 'Paste' into LibreOffice is empty, and Paste Special to LibreOffice only offers Bitmap which is empty on insertion. Guess we need a filter handler to recognize the 49279 PNG clipboard format as usable, and some means to recognize that the CF_BITMAP is empty, so should not be offered?

I now have Windows 11, and LO 7.3.2.2. I took a screenshot with the built-in Windows "Snipping Tool", pasted into LO Impress, it works! Good job.
