This How.com.vn will teach you how to find screenshots on your Windows 10 computer by looking in the Pictures folder.

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.
