    Press the Windows Key + PrtSc keys together, does that save a screenshot into the Screenshots folder?

    I face the same issue reported by the original submitter and in my search for a solution, also came across the Windows Key + PrtSc command option which in my opinion, isn't quite useful, if truth be told.

    Why do I say that? Well, because as was the case with the old snipping tool, I want to be able to manually select/highlight/draw a specific area or section of the object I wish to snip and not the entire screen, which is what the aforementioned Windows command does by default.

    Why is the screenshots folder only showing my last 20 days of screenshots? I was hoping to access files from last year that I know I screenshotted. Why would the system automatically remove/not show screenshots before 30 days from now?

    I am facing the same issue for the time bring because it was urgent I was forced to use an alternative tool to save my screenshots at the proper place. I have found that the correct way to resolve this is to check the properties of the snipping tool and then change the target folder. This way all your edits will end up in a folder you wanted it in.
