    Screenshots won't save automatically, only manually


    Hi, I'm having trouble having my computer save screenshots automatically Windows 11, in my old computer, when I took a screenshot it would automatically save to the screenshots folder, with my new one however, they won't, I have to take the screenshot with the snipping tool, and then select save, before I only had to take the screenshot and that was it, I tried selecting the automatically save screenshots option on OneDrive but it's still the same, is that just how it is now or is there a way to configure the snipping tool to automatically save the screenshots without having to click the sav

    :)

    Screenshots no longer automatically saved in Screenshots folder

    For nearly 3 years, the PRT SC (print screen) button on my HP Envy laptop automatically saved screenshots in a folder called Screenshots. While I still have functionality of clicking PRT SC and can then paste the image by CTRL-V, the images are no longer
    automatically being saved in the Screenshots folder or any folder as far as I can tell. What changed and how can this be fixed? I use DropBox, not OneDrive, so please no suggestions re OneDrive. Thanks.

    How can I get screenshots to save automatically (no Screenshots folder)?

    Everything I've read about Windows 10 says that screenshots save automatically to a Screenshot folder in the Pictures folder. However, I don't have a Screenshots folder in my Pictures folder. For a while my screenshots were saving automatically to a
    folder in OneDrive (Pictures > Screenshots), but I never set that up, and they are not saving there automatically anymore. I would appreciate some assistance, because it's a pain to have to manually save screenshots. Thanks.

    Screenshots won't save automatically, only manually

    Clicking on notification of screenshots automatically saved to OneDrive no longer opens Screenshots folder

    Clicking on notification of screenshots automatically saved to OneDrive no longer opens Screenshots folder whereas it did previously. Screenshot is automatically saved in that folder but it now requires opening the folder manually.
