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?

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

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

-1 from me too for not reading the question properly. – LPChip – 2020-02-24T18:12:19.527
I was downvoted for providing a thoughtful answer here. People (lots of them) lose files storing them in temporary locations. I would never do such a thing. – John – 2020-02-24T20:16:57.873
Don't remember which answer you were but I didn't downvote any. OP should definitely save them elsewhere if they mean to keep them. This is a good place to look if they didn't save from clipboard and accidentally closed Snip & Sketch – MC10 – 2020-02-24T21:49:06.753
That is what my answer was. They should be saved, not kept in a temporary locations. Yes, it was not you who downvoted. – John – 2020-02-24T21:52:01.787
Many thanks for the info. Now I know the location, I can create a link to the folder since I clip a lot. – reflectionalist – 2020-02-25T12:10:53.457
