Screenshot Auto-Save Options #34185

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Windows 11 has a feature that Windows 10 can only be done by changing a lot of configurations: Use the PRTSC Key to directly use Snip&Sketch to take a screenshot. (Alternatively, Win + Shift + S), BUT unlike Win11, when used on Win10, this feature doesn't auto-save the screenshot. It must be done manually.

Idea: Make it so any screenshot is auto-saved in a pre-selected folder. No matter how it was taken (Win + PRTSC/ PRTSC/ Win + Shift + S).

Right now, only the direct Win + PRTSC auto-saves.

Scenario when this would be used?

It's useful when working or playing games, (even more for people with multiple Monitors), when one wants to take a quick screenshot of only one part of the screen and have it be saved automatically so it's not needed to stop everything, click, save and then resume the work.

Supporting information

This is how one can use the feature on Win10 - but to save, the image must then be opened in another program and then select where to save, which are annoying extra-steaps. (On Win11 it auto-saves in the capture folder).
