Microsoft has greatly improved the latest versions of Windows 10 possibility to instantly take screenshots. One of the simplest options is to use the Win + Print Screen keys. Automatic screenshots of images will be saved to the default folder so you can easily find them.

This default folder is named "Screenshots" (or Screenshots if you have Windows in Greek) and is under the "Pictures" folder of the user you are currently logged in to.

The name of the snapshots it is done automatically by Windows. Each file name begins with the word “Screenshot” (or screenshot), but since file names must be unique, a number is added to the name as a counter. Windows increments the counter by 1 each time you take a new screenshot. The result is names like Screenshot(1).png, Screenshot(2).png and so on.

Windows remembers the last used number and will automatically increment the new Screenshot you take by 1. If you want to reset this counter, you can do so through it h. See how it's done:

Note that Windows automatically selects the next possible name number, even if you restore the index to 1. If the Screenshots folder already has Screenshot (1) .png, then Screenshot (2) .png will be automatically selected by Windows.
