    Screenshot taken from Surface pro not appearing in the folder.

    Hi Paul,



    Thank you for replying with the status of the issue.



    Check if you are able to locate the screenshots folder using Cortana by following the steps below:



    • Press Windows logo key on the keyboard to launch
      Cortana      .
    • Type the file name of any screenshot picture you had taken before the issue occurred.
    • Trail the file/folder path displayed at the top most search result on the PC.
    • Check if the screenshots are displayed in the file/folder.


    Also check if you are able to view the transferred photos from other devices to your Surface Pro.



    Write back to us with the status of the issue for further assistance, we will be happy to help. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.

    where are screenshots taken on my windows 10 saved?

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
