Screenshots no longer automatically saving?

In July 2020 my Macbook Pro (10.15.5) stopped savings screenshots to /desktop automatically.

Previously it would save with a default file name. Now you have to close the preview and enter a new file name in order for it to save.

I much preferred the previous UX.

Does anyone know if there is a way default it back to auto saving?

Cheers

Mac Pro
