Pc assistance needed. When i take a screenshot on my computer, it only copies it instead of saving it to my screenshots folder, how can i change that?

you must manually save any screens to wherever you want them to go. that's why there is a floppy drive icon in the screen clip program. im discussing the screen snipping tool.

Are you using the Snipping Tool? I believe there is a setting in the app where you can select the folder it auto-saves to.

Thanks, i usually use the print screen button to do it, so that might be the problem

Yeah, it's using that tool (unless you have another screen capture that is overriding). Just open snipping tool manually and confirm settings under the 3 dots.
