    Winkey+PrtSc Not Saving Screenshots to Directory


    I'm on OS Build 19041.630. Yesterday, I was able to use Fn+Winkey+PrtSc to save screenshots to the folder in my Pictures directory. I would get the screen dim and the sound and it was fine. Today, this is no longer working. I went into the properties of my screenshots folder and made sure "Full Access" was checked under the security settings and I also restored location to default to see if that would help, but that's all I knew to check on my own.

    I strongly suspect that the reason it stopped working was a cat on my keyboard, but I have no idea what she might have stepped on to disable this? I use this function to help me take notes for school so I would really like to get this fixed. Thank you in advance for any help.

    :)

  2. Where are my screenshots saved if I don’t choose to also save them on OneDrive?

    P.S.

    Press WinKey + PrtSc to capture a screenshot, then WinKey + E to open File Explorer & your screenshot should be at the top of your Recent files list.

  3. How can I redirect my screenshots to be saved to my computer rather than to OneDrive directory?

    No. When that option is unchecked, screenshots (captured via WinKey+PrtSc) should be saved to a Screenshots folder created in your Pictures folder.

    PrtSc

    If you use Winkey + PrtSc it will put a copy in your Pictures folder under Screenshots.
