Why can’t I find my Screenshots on Windows 10?

Firstly: if you’ve taken a screenshot by just pressing the PrtScn key, then you won’t be able to find your screenshot anywhere. This is because it’s only saved in your computer’s clipboard, and you’ll have to paste it into a program like Paint before it can be saved to your computer and viewed normally.
