Screen Shots Not Saved To A Folder Anymore?

[dutchfarmgirl]

When I first updated to Windows 10 everytime I would press the Prt Sc button a screenshot used to be saved to a folder. Now all I can do is the original press Prt Sc button and paste the screenshot to Paint. Which is fine. I just liked having the screenshot saved to a folder and be able to edit it in Paint later. Has it been removed in newer updates and we can't do it anymore or can I turn it back on if I want too? I am just curious that's all. If that is no longer possible it's alright. Thank you.

8 ways to take screenshots in Windows, using built-in tools

#2 Windows key + PrtScn

Excerpted:

If you want to take a screenshot of the whole screen and save it as a file on the hard drive, without using any other tools, then press Windows + PrtScn on your keyboard. Windows stores the screenshot in the Pictures library, in the Screenshots folder. The file is named “Screeenshot(number).png,” where the number will vary based on how many screenshots you have taken.
