Windows 10: How do I screenshot in Windows 10 with automatic saving using Alt + Shift + S ?

Hello, in Windows 10, Start + PrtSc works fine and saves the screenshot, however when I want to screenshot something specific in a window through Alt + Shift + S, how can I ensure the screenshot is saved automatically without pasting it somewhere or opening the snipping tool and save it through there? It saves a lot of time skipping this process in Windows 11.In Windows 11 it works fine. Screenshot saves into clipboard and it specifically says Automatically saved into the screenshots folder.How can I make it work to skip the manual saving through pasting it into an app in Windows 10 ?

How to be given option to save screenshot

The screenshot (using Win + Shift + S) is saved automatically to the following folder:

Ref: Screenshot a Portion of the Screen [Winkey+Shift+S]

For each screen snip, two image files would be saved. One is the thumbnail/miniature version (whose dimensions are always 364x180) and the other is the original screenshot.

Hope that info helps.

Update:

The future versions of the Windows 11 Snipping Tool will have a built-in option ("Automatically save screenshots") to save snips to the "Pictures\Screenshots" folder automatically. The feature was introduced in Windows 11 22H2 insider build 25211.

 

screenshots stored automatically to a folder

Hi

I would like the screenshots that I take with PrtSc and alt+PrtSc to be stored automatically to a folder.

I found that it can be stored to OneDrive "AutoSave Screenshots to OneDrive on Windows 10".

Steps:

OneDrive, right-click the OneDrive icon on the taskbar and select Settings.

Then select the Backup tab and under the “Screenshots” section, check the “Automatically save screenshots I capture to OneDrive” box and click OK.



BUT in my case the “Screenshots” section and the checkbox “Automatically save screenshots I capture to OneDrive” don't exist....

I would appreciate if someone could tell me a solution. Thanks
