Screenshot app not working

Whenever I use the usual shortcuts to create a screenshot, now Preview opens up which is annoying and it opens every screenshot I've ever made. Until just recently, when I created a screenshot, it automatically went to my desktop. I don't know what has happened to change this. I've been googling and haven't found one solution that works for me. I'm working on a MacBook Pro OS Mojave 10.14.6. I'd so appreciate help with this.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
