Windows 10: Screenshots are not showing up in the "Screenshot" folder in the picture folder

I had onedrive installed on my laptop previously, but it wasn't signed in or set up, I also disabled the auto start on startup for onedrive since I don't use it and won't like to get my files backed up, but I noticed one thing, for some reason, my "Documents", "Pictures" and "Videos" folder inside the local disk c:\user\.. path was set to local disk c:\user\onedrive\..., now the problem was the screenshots which I was taking wasn't showing up in the screenshots folder in the pictures folder, it was working when my laptop was new though, cause I have many screenshots already taken, so I tried

SWEETFX screenshot folder

Hi is there a way to change the folder to which Sweetfx saves the in-game screenshots ???

By default they get saved into the "game's directory"... but I would like to change that for another folder...

 

Screenshots folder missing

Hey there, gslamba,

Welcome to Microsoft community.

I'm very sorry to hear about the issue of your missing screenshots folder. One thing I'd like to confirm with you is, if you take a screenshot again, will the screenshots folder reappear?

To take a screenshot on your Surface Pro 4, follow these steps:

1. Full-screen screenshot: Press the Power button and the Volume Up button simultaneously. This will take a screenshot of your entire screen and save it to the Screenshots folder in your Pictures library.
   
2. Snipping Tool: Open the Snipping Tool app from the Start menu. This app allows you to take a screenshot of a specific area on your screen. Once you capture a screenshot, you can save it to any folder you want.
   

This will help us determine if there's an issue with the function.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.

Have a great day and stay safe!

Best regards

No screenshot folder in picture folder.

What has happened is that when I followed the instructions to edit the registry I changed the value to 265, can't remember the exact number. This change the where the screenshot folder was placed. It went to the desktop instead of the Pictures folder.

The screenshot folder is now on my desktop. I have to press windows and prtscn to save a capture to the folder.

Thanks TechGuy.
