    No one below the age of 47 wants to use one drive. I don't know who needs to hear this but stop pushing it.

    Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    1

    If you have OneDrive installed on your PC to sync files, open OneDrive settings and ensure the setting to save screenshots to OneDrive automatically is disabled.

    2

    In File Explorer, open your Pictures folder, is there a screenshots folder in there, and does that not contain your screenshots?

    3

    Click your Start Button, type regedit and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.

    Click View and make sure 'Address Bar' is turned on.

    Paste this into the Address Bar at the top and hit Enter.

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

    Please provide a screenshot of that Registry Editor page.
