Screen Shot Command Issue

I haven't been able to get the screen shot command to work the past couple of months...I used to use it frequently but it won't work. It looks like it's taking the screen shot and makes the noise but then it never saves it. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Screen Capture using CMD-Shift-4 Not Working Properly (Bug) Has anyone else noticed that with the 11.5, 11.6 iOS updates that their partial screen capture (screen grab, screen shot) isn't working properly. Generally what happens for me is instead of the actual partial screen capture using CMD-Shift-4, I get a Finder window that opens, but no screen capture. I have to click "Cancel" and then use the CMD-Shift-4 a 2nd time in order for me to complete the action. The Finder window remains an issue and opens again. Are there any fixes for this? I use this function very often, almost daily or more and I'd really love to make it stop and work the way it did prior to the most recent updates. Thanks!

Press Command-Shift-5, click Options and pick a location, then click Capture and check that location.
