I have opened the screenshot app and the default is set to desktop, however, when I do a screenshot I dont see the image in the right lower corner nor is there anything in desktop - I can hear it make the capture sound - but even a search for screenshot shows nothing.
?

You are right - there are 2 - on another MAC they both created a screen shot file - SHIFT CMD 3 (here creates a screen shot file and puts it to the desired folder like DESKTOP) and SHIFT CMD 4 puts it to the clipboard directly and so here is my problem - I couldnt see any files. On my other Mac this was an OK command to create a screen shot file - here - I guess in VENTURA it was changed.

In addition to what dialabrain said:
Shift-cmd-4 should not go to the clipboard. It allows you to screenshot a window or a user-defined area.
Shift-cmd-3 takes a full-screen screenshot of every display individually.
Adding control to any of the shortcuts puts it on the clipboard.
As Barney said, Command-Shift-4 should not put the screenshot in the clipboard, unless you either:
selected Clipboard as the destination using Command-Shift-5, Options, Save To: Clipboard (*);
or
you changed the assignment of the shortcuts in System Settings->Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts, Screen Shots.
(*) this would affect Command-Shift-3 as well, so if that is not going to the clipboard, this is not what happened
Did you try toggling the setting on the Screenshot options?
Try booting into Safe Mode then restart normally. Sometimes that will fix anomalies.
Any chance you have Dropbox installed? It has a setting that will "steal" screenshots.
No dropbox unfortunately
What keyboard shortcut are you using to create the screenshot? If you are adding the control key, it puts the screenshot on the clipboard, but doesn't write a file.
Thx all for your help! - it moved the needle in my head to see whats up.
Yes thx for the details. I see what happened now.
cant locate screenshots in Ventura
