Windows 10: Snip & Sketch too complicated for a screenshot

I need a way to save screenshots with one click. Pressing the PntScn key using the Snipping Tool used to store the screenshot instantly in the user's Screenshots folder. Snip & Sketch won't do that. Each screen shot requires selecting the whole screen icon, then going to notifications to locate it, clicking on it, then saving the screenshot. By then I'm so annoyed I give up. I tried using Autokey script someone posted online to go back to using SnippingTool but it no longer works like it used to. Is there any way to do instant screenshots without using my phone?

Snip and Sketch Awkward

Use Windows+shift+s to launch Snip and Sketch. Can snip a screenshot.

Now the problem is this: after snipping the screen shot, it does not automatically appear in the Snip and Sketch app. So I open Snip and Sketch and there's nothing on it.

So I have choose 'new' and snip the screen yet again.

I recall using this once and taking a screenshot and voila! Snip and Sketch appeared with the screen shot duly in the app's workspace, ready for annotations and saving etc. This facility has disappeared. I have re-set it according to instructions, and even
reinstalled it - yet the problem persists.

Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Opening Screenshots in Snipping Tool/Snip & Sketch

Hi,

I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.

The behavior you see is expected-Now taking screenshots would automatically copy them to the clipboard and would not open a new Window like happened with snipping tool.

A notification, should generate however to open the editor if needed. See the screenshot.

A better way would be to open Snip and Sketch app using app and select New Snip.
