Hidden Secret Features and Useful Hotkeys in Windows 8 and Laterīut recently I faced a strange issue while using this feature. You can read more about this and other hidden secret features in following exclusive topic: We have shared more details about this feature in past when Windows 8 was under development and testing phase. This feature is called Auto Save Screenshots or Auto Screen Capture and works in Windows 8 and later Windows versions such as Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 as well. ![]() You just need to press WIN PrtScn keys together and it’ll automatically capture the screen and save it as an image in “Pictures\Screenshots” folder under your Documents folder. With the release of Windows 8, Microsoft made taking screenshots a lot easier process. Thereafter, switch to the Auto save tab and uncheck the box ‘ Automatically save screenshots I capture to OneDrive‘.In older Windows versions such as Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7, whenever you needed to share a screenshot of your computer screen or screenshot of a particular program window with others, you had to press PrtScn (Print Screen) key or ALT PrtScn keys first to capture the whole screen or particular window and then you had to paste the screenshot in an image editing program such as MS Paint, Adobe Photoshop, etc to save it as an image. Locate the OneDrive icon in the Windows 10 System Tray, just move the mouse cursor there, right-click on the cloud icon, and select Settings option. Stop saving screenshots to OneDrive automatically Here’s a post walking you through the process of forcing Windows 11/10 to stop automatically saving screenshots, photos, and videos to OneDrive, whenever you connect your camera or phone to your PC. While the concepts interest many users, a handful of them finds it quite bothering. The move is intended to place cloud storage as a free or cheap replacement to files stored locally on your PC. However, the recent Setting option added to OneDrive forces the captured screenshots to be auto-saved to a special folder in the user’s OneDrive profile and in the cloud i.e., screen captures are saved to a Pictures\Screenshots folder in your local OneDrive profile, which is then synced to the Microsoft Cloud. Once done, the laptop screen dims indicating the screenshot is captured and ready for your view in the User/Pictures/Screenshots folder. All the user is required to do for capturing the whole screen in one go is press Win PrntScr key in combination on the hardware keyboard. Capturing screenshots on Windows 11/10 is simple.
