Manually save screenshot

Usually when I take a screenshot (command + Shift + 3) I would automatically save to my desktop. Right now, every time I screenshot it would show up right away and I would have to click the close button on the corner and then a box will pop up like the attached image below. This is frustrating especially when im trying to screenshot a class. How do I make this back to when I did not have to manually save it every time. I have a MacBook Air 2019, Retina 13-inch

Try the Following:

  1. Press: [Hold Down: command + shift +5]
  2. Click: Options button
  3. Select: Desktop (first item down)

Note: I could not take a screenshot of a screenshot, so, I took a photo of it.
