Windows 10: applications that let you take screenshots with a key press + automatically save to a folder ?

i myself am finding a hard time explaining this properly so if anything seems vague lmk and ill expand upon it, i also wasnt sure where to put this so i hope this is okay!

i have two monitors so the windows key + print screen solution is frustrating to work with, since it captures both displays when it saves it automatically

and i understand i can just use the snipping tool or paste the screenshot but after using steam so often, i love its function to use a keybind and have it capture something automatically and save it to a folder without me having to do it myself, does anyone know if there's apps out there that work like this?

Screenshots no longer automatically saved in Screenshots folder

For nearly 3 years, the PRT SC (print screen) button on my HP Envy laptop automatically saved screenshots in a folder called Screenshots. While I still have functionality of clicking PRT SC and can then paste the image by CTRL-V, the images are no longer
automatically being saved in the Screenshots folder or any folder as far as I can tell. What changed and how can this be fixed? I use DropBox, not OneDrive, so please no suggestions re OneDrive. Thanks.

 

Screenshots no longer automatically saved in Screenshots folder

Thanks for the follow-through. Windows key + Print Screen does "blink" my screen and automatically saves the screenshot to a different Screenshots folder that is a subfolder in the Pictures folder. I actually prefer
the 2-key requirement for screenshots because I have too many accidental screenshots. If I move the Screenshots subfolder, will the autosaving function still work?

 

Win key + Print Screen SystRq not always working to take and save screenshots.

Hello Benoy,

To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

• When you press Windows key + Print Scrn SysRq, does your computer's screen somehow dim for a moment? Also, after pressing Windows key + Print Scrn SysRq and press Ctrl + V in Paint, does the screenshot appears?

• Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:

1. Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
2. Click OK.

• What is the make and model of your device?

To save your screenshot as a file, it would depend on the key combination that will trigger to capture a screenshot and automatically save it to the Screenshots folder. Here are some examples of print screen key combination depending on the manufacturer
of the device (Windows logo key + Ctrl + PrintScrn, or Windows logo key + Fn + PrintScrn)

Looking forward to your response.

Regards.
