screenshots are not stored on desktop. Why is this and how do I fix this?

I've made a screenshot using Shift-Cmd-4. In the past these screenshots were saved on my desktop. Unfortunately this is currently not the case.

What is going on and how do I fix this?


PS Last saved screenshot on my desktop was last month.

MacBook Pro, macOS Mojave (10.14)

Press "Command + Shift + 5" to open Screenshot, click Options and make sure Desktop is checked. You can press "esc" to leave Screenshot.
