    Win+PrtSc dims screen but screenshots don't appear in the dedicated screenshots folder.


    I have been using Win+PrtSc to take screenshots for as long as I can remember. It used to save them in the default screenshots folder in the pictures section of the file explorer. But last week I noticed that screenshots dont appear in the folder anymore. When i hit the keys, the screen dims and indicates that it took a screenshot but the pictures are nowhere to be found. Tried looking in recents and searching through the windows search but no luck. I know that i can use the screensnip option but it takes to long to save a picture and i cant afford to miss anything Im trying to capture. I've a

    Screenshot

    I used to take screenshots by using the Win + prtsc combination. Now when I do so, neither the screen dims nor the screenshots are being saved in the folder "Screenshots". I've tried other methods too like snipping tool and pasting it to the paint but this
    is the only easiest method to have screenshots, since the work I am doing requires taking screenshots frequently. Please help.

    Thanks in advance!

    PrtSc screenshots

    PrtSc screenshots used to got to OneDrive>Pictures>Screenshots -- up thru 3-25-19; now they disappear into space. There is no Screenshots folder in User>Pictures. Where else could they be going?
