screen shot not working on 2019 macbook pro with tahoe 26.0.1
screen shot not saving to any location
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 26.0
I am puzzled also.
2021 iMac running OS 15.6 works fine.
Only the two machines upgraded to Tahoe have stopped working
Question marked as
I understand you are using the Screenshot app found in /Applications/Utilities.
Please confirm that Desktop remains selected in its Options > Save to contextual menu, as shown in the example below:
Even if it is selected and all the other options are set to you your liking, change that location to something else, such as Documents, and capture a screenshot. Same problem?
- If you find the screenshot in Documents, revert that change and test again. In fact you can change any of the options in that Options contextual menu (such as "Show Floating Thumbnail" etc), test, then revert the change. The idea is to force the Screenshot app to rewrite its stored settings which may have become corrupted for reasons unknown.
If you still experience the same problem, does it occur in "Safe Mode"?
Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support
Boot Safe Mode, test, then reboot normally (not "Safe Mode").

Guess I'm just unlucky?
here you go. I didn't see anything terrible, but maybe you can see something I don't.
good catch. that's it
thank you for all your effort... the 5pickle5 post was the one that fixed it.

FWIW, having "Show Floating Thumbnail" enabled works fine for me. You just have to wait until it closes.
