    Screenshots not saved? folder exists


    MY SCREENSHOTS FOLDER IS NOT MISSING. there is just never anything in it when i use the print screen button. to be honest i dont understand this new way to snip things anyway, because after i draw an outline, the full tool disappears and theres no indicators at all that anything happened or was saved. cant find the images anywhere else on my device either. to me, the feature simply seems broken. but i would love a solution, ideally one thats *not a third party way to screenshot.* unless it is in fact totally busted and thats what i need to do

    :)

    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 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

    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...
