How to Find Screenshots on PC

Depending on the method you've used to take the screenshot, you can find it saved in various locations. This wikiHow will teach you how to find screenshots on your Windows 10 computer by looking in the Pictures folder. If, however, you used the keyboard shortcut and pressed the PrtScn key, the screenshot is copied to your clipboard and can only be saved if you paste it in another program (like Paint). The Snipping Tool that lets you choose where to save each screenshot you take; if you forget where your last screenshot was saved, try saving another screenshot with the Snipping Tool and look in the folder where you're prompted to save it, since this is most likely the same location as the file you're trying to find.
