    BUG: If you delete Pictures/Screenshots folder you will break Win+Print Screen shortcut


    If you delete Screenshots folder in C:\Users\<USER>\Pictures\ it will break Win+Print Screen shortcut.

    Recreating folder does not fix it, screen blinks but there is no screenshot anywhere.

    And yes i did try turning it off and on again.

    OS Build: 19042.906

    Screen Capture not working (Windows Key + Print Screen)

    When I press Windows Key + Print Screen the screen flashes but no file is saved in the Screenshots folder in Pictures.

    Seems to be a bug in Windows 10 (10240). Any suggestions please?

    Screenshot folder is missing in Pictures

    Hello NasirAbbas1,

    Can you please advise how recently you last saw that folder? Is it possible it was accidentally deleted and is sitting in the Recycling bin?

    if you press the keyboard keys Windows + Print Screen your system should take a screenshot and place the image in Pictures\Screenshots. If the folder does not exist it will be created.

    Please advise if that helps or you need further assistance.
