    I took several screenshots while in BF1 using the windows key = G, the screens color changed slightly as it should when you take a screenshot but I can't seem to find them. I have Googled this problem and there is supposed to be a file called screenshots in the pictures folder but it's not there. could someone guide my in finding them and is there a way to save them to my desktop?

    I thought the combination was Windows + prt sc? That's what I use, and the pics ends up in the folder you mentioned.

    I will try the print screen combo, thanks. There is a note in a splash screen during the BF1 launch that state "Press Windows key + g" it has a green background which makes me think in Nvida but I'm not running GFE. I'l; create that folder and try both keys next time.

    @SL2

    You were correct, the other key I mentioned was to bring up some game terminal. The problem is that BF 1 screenshots only show the origin window. I ended up making a macro on my Ordbweaver that brings up the console and type in screenshot.render then close the console in about 1 second. Those go to the battlefield folder.

    Thanks again for the help.
