Where a screenshot is saved depends on the shortcut or tool. Win + Print Screen commonly saves a file in Pictures > Screenshots, while Print Screen alone may copy to the clipboard.
Find the file
Open File Explorer and check Pictures > Screenshots. If you used the Snipping Tool, look at its save location or recent captures.

Clipboard versus file
Pressing Print Screen may place an image on the clipboard; paste it into Paint, Word, or a message and save from there.
What if OneDrive is enabled?
A configured backup or screenshot setting can change where files are stored. Check OneDrive Pictures and search for recent PNG files.
