Windows 10: Cannot find where screenshots are being saved

Discus and support Cannot find where screenshots are being saved in Windows 10 Ask Insider to solve the problem; My screenshots are not being saved in the screenshots folder anymore and whenever I take a screenshot, the "screenshot taken" pop up doesn't appear....

  1. Cannot find where screenshots are being saved


    My screenshots are not being saved in the screenshots folder anymore and whenever I take a screenshot, the "screenshot taken" pop up doesn't appear. But when I go into a game like Roblox for instance, screenshots taken in game get saved to a folder called Roblox under pictures.

    This started happening after I updated my PC a few days ago.
