    Where do screenshots made from Alt + PrtScn get saved?


    I recently made these screenshots using the keys mentioned before, but i cannot see them on my screenshots folder. I had to copy something else, so they are no longer in my clipboard. Are those screenshots deleted or are they saved somewhere else?

    :)

    Auto-Save Screenshots?

    I noticed that besides auto-saving screenshots in onedrive I have to hold the Windows key and PrtScn for it to save to a folder. Is there a way that just pressing the PrtScn button could just save it to a folder?

    Where do screenshots made from Alt + PrtScn get saved?

    Windows 10 won't save screenshots in Pictures

    Pressing windows + PrtScn does nothing. There also no screenshots folder in Pictures.

    They would save on one drive but i want them to save on my computer in pictures. Uninstalling one drive did nothing now screenshots wont save at all. I tried moving the old one drive screenshots folder into pictures but windows + PrtScn still does nothing.

    I'm using a desktop PC

    UPDATE: I tried using the on screen keyboard to take a screenshot and it worked and i remembered my keyboard has a windows key lock so i disabled it and it works
