Windows 10: Where is the Windows 10 Screen Shots folder?

In my previous installation of Windows 10, PrtScn, Ctrl-PrtScn, and Alt-PrtScn produced an image file and stored it in a Screen Shots folder on my PC. I would then receive a notification in the notification area of my Task Bar, the a new screen shot was available and I could click to open it. Alternately, I could simply open the Screen Shots folder to find all of the images I had captured. Since I've installed a new Windows 10, the PrtScrn key does nothing and I have searched but cannot find the Screen Shots folder. I found the Screen Snip option in settings and turned it on, so I can snip an arbitrary area of my display, but I have no idea where the image is. No amount of file searching turns up the Screen Shots folder. How do I restore the PrtScn function and where can I find Screen Shots or Screen Snips?

Screen Shot in Windows 10

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

To guide you in the right direction, I need more information from the computer by answering the following questions:

• What exactly are you referring to?
• Are you facing any kind of issues with Windows?

If you want to take a screen shot and save it as picture, I suggest you to check with the below steps.

To take a screen shot and save it as a picture

• 
  Click the window you want to capture. Press Alt+Print Screen by holding down the Alt key and then pressing the Print Screen key. The Print Screen key is near the upper-right corner of your keyboard. (Depending on the type of keyboard you have, the exact
  key names on your keyboard may vary slightly.)
  

Note: You can take a screen shot of your entire desktop rather than just a single window by pressing the Print Screen key without holding down the Alt key.

• 
  Click Start, click Accessories, and then click
  Paint.
  
• 
  In the Paint window, click Edit, and then click
  Paste.
  
• 
  When the image appears in the Paint window, click File, and then click
  Save As.
  
• 
  In the Save As dialog box, in the File name box, type a name for the screen shot, and then click
  Save.
  

Please do get back to us with the answers to assist you better with issue you are facing.

 

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
