How to stop the screenshot preview opening? Macbook Air M1

Hi Community, does anyone know how to stop the screenshot preview opening?

The screenshots (COM + SHIFT + 3) were automatically saved on my desktop in my old Macbook Pro but the Macbook Air keeps opening them & then I have to manually select how & where to save, which is really time consuming when doing many screenshots

I tried using the instructions in the following link but with no success as when I open the app, it is blank & there are no options to change...

Hey SunIsShiningSomewhere,

You've done some great troubleshooting on your own. We can see from your screenshot that Image Capture launches when you take a screenshot, is that correct?

Does this only occur when you take a screenshot of the entire screen? If you haven't already, try taking a screenshot of a portion of your screen to see if the same behavior occurs: Take screenshots or screen recordings on Mac - Apple Support

If it does, we recommend reaching out to Apple Support for a closer look: Contact - Official Apple Support

Take care.
