Screenshots disappear from Desktop after 30 seconds

I noticed this problem 3 days ago. It might have been after the system software update. There was another since then. I use a MacBook Pro 17,1 macOS Monterey Version 12.5.1. The screenshots stay when in Safety Mode but continue to disappear even after rebooting the system. I spent a few hours on the phone on three separate occasions with Apple Support about this already. Screenshot shortcut: Command, Shift, 4

Thank you.

Make some changes—

Shift Command 5 see Options turn off the bells & whistles

If you have iCloud drive on by default— you might look for them there.

If you use any of these third party apps, all have a upload screenshot preferences... :

OneDrive

Google Drive

Dropbox

look there, make changes to those preferences if applicable.
