    I am not sure what happened but my images are saved as screenshots. I have tried watching YouTube videos but I can't seem to find anything videos to fix this issue. I cleaned my cookies.

    screenshot images are not saving

    They save by default to a folder called Screenshots in the Pictures library. There is nothing about this different before or after Th2, nothing has changed in this regard.

    Cheers,

    Drew
