Overview

I'm looking for a way to recover screenshots on Windows 10.

"Hi, if you are a game player, you might have the same trouble as me. Several days ago I took some screenshots with PrintScreen that I needed for references to make something onto one of my games. But all the screenshots disappeared unexpectedly. I searched over on my computer, and nothing's found! Is there a way that I can use to recover lost or deleted screenshots?"

When you use a Windows computer, there is a quick way to copy the contents of what you see on your screen by using the Print Screen key. When you press the Ctrl + Print Screen combination or Print Screen only, it saves an image of the screen contents to the Windows Clipboard. Then, you need to paste the contents of the Clipboard into an image editor and save them as JPG/JPEG/PNG file format.

Can Windows Print Screenshots Be Recovered

Whether you can recover the screenshots or not depends on how you lose them. As said before, when you press Ctrl+Print Screen, your computer will save the screenshots to the Windows clipboard temporarily. If you don't paste and save the image timely, the clipboard will replace the previous data when a new one is copied or cut. On this occasion, it is not possible to recover the screenshot.

However, if you have stored the screenshots on your computer, and lost them due to human errors. For example, accidental deletion, storage device formatting, system corruption, or other uncertain issues, you can recover the deleted screenshots successfully with a professional data recovery tool, like EaseUS data recovery software demonstrated below.
