Windows 10: When capturing windows+prtsc, Is there any way to save screenshot file at jpg, not...

All of the explanations of this only says convert png to jpg after captured. That's not the answer I wanted.I want to set windows built-in screenshot default value png to jpg.If it's impossible, then I'd also like to know what converter recommended .exe available, reliable, good quality when converting

How to save screenshots to the Screenshots folder using just the PrtSc key on Windows 10?

I used to take screenshots all the time just by hitting the PrtSc key on my keyboard, and they would always go right to This PC > Pictures > Screenshots, but it hasn't been working like this recently. Now, instead of going to my Screenshots folder, it just copies to my clipboard, so I have to paste it and then save it in order to keep the screenshot when I didn't have any of these additional steps before.

I believe the issue started sometime after I first tried using Snip & Sketch where I'd hit windows+shift+S. My computer hasn't taken screenshots the same way after that. I'd prefer not to do it this way however, because it also requires the additional steps of pasting it and saving it, and because it requires multiple keys to be pressed.

Now I am able to save screenshots directly to my Screenshots folder by hitting Windows+PrtSc but this requires the use of two hands, which is impractical for me.

How can I save screenshots the way I used to by just pressing the PrtSc key?

 

Winkey+PrtSc Not Saving Screenshots to Directory

Since Fn+Winkey+PrtSc is not a recognised keyboard shortcut, I assume that you have a laptop and the Fn key was necessary because the PrtSc key has two functions.

Your keyboard probably has a key combination that toggles normal behaviour between the Fn key being off [hence your Fn+Winkey+PrtSc] and the Fn key being on [so you should now be able to take Screenshots using just Winkey+PrtSc].

Each manufacturer has its own idea of what a suitable keyboard shortcut would be to toggle between these two behaviours; it is not a Windows setting. On one of my computers, just for example, it's Fn+Esc and the Esc key has a padlock symbol on it to help me remember when I need to. You will need to look all over your keyboard, study your computer manual, search your computer maker's website or try any user support forum that they host.

Where are my screenshots saved if I don’t choose to also save them on OneDrive?

P.S.

Press WinKey + PrtSc to capture a screenshot, then WinKey + E to open File Explorer & your screenshot should be at the top of your Recent files list.
