A little while ago, the notorious Microsoft leaker WalkingCat suggested that a new screen clipping experiencewas hidden in Windows 10 Redstone 5 build 17627. Microsoft watchersquickly followed upto suggest the leak was right, also saying that a new UWP clipping experience was also in the works. Well, WalkingCat is back on the topic again and says that the Screen Clipping experience should now be “mostly complete” (via MSPoweruser.)

WalkingCat apparently found the resources in a Redstone 5 build, and says that the new screen clipping experience also lets users capture “Left Screen, Right Screen, or Both Screens.” This is rather peculiar since there is no current Microsoft device on the market which has these types of screens. It perhaps suggests that therumored folding Surface Phone Andromedais real, and Redstone 5 may have custom experiences just for the device.

WalkingCat also says that the screen clipping experience allows users to draw a shape on the screen to create a screen snip. This is again rather interesting, as it can prove to be useful for clipping out images and putting it in a digital journal with dual screens.

It is rather strange to see another screen clipping experience make its way into Windows, especially since there arealready so many waysto do such a simple thing. However, given therash of Microsoft patentsrelating to a folding device and these latest tweets, this latest experience might be designed with a new device in mind. With the development of Redstone 4 winding down, more on this Redstone 5 screen clipping feature might surface soon to Windows Insiders soon, so it is best to keep tuned for more.
