Where did Windows 10 save clipped images using Windows Key + Shift + S?

When using + Shift + S, the selected area of the screen is copied to the clipboard.
Is it saved somewhere also as an image? If so, where can I find it?

The new Snip & Sketch tool copies to the clipboard but will also save the image in a temp file. The temp file of the image is stored in AppData\Local.

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.ShellExperienceHost_(a string of numbers and letters)\TempState\ScreenClip

It looks like the location of temp files changed again :

C:\Users\your.profile\AppData\Local\Packages\MicrosoftWindows.Client.CBS_(numbers and letters)\TempState\ScreenClip

2022-03 : New location :

AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.ScreenSketch_XXXXXXXXXX\TempState

It gets copied to your clipboard. You can paste it into Paint and save it as an image from there.
