Stop print screen key from opening snip & sketch

I want the screenshots i make with the print screen key to to automatically saved into my files instead of having to open snip and sketch every time, is there any way to make this happen?

    To avoid opening Snip & Sketch with just PrtScn, you may need to disable or change shortcuts in Windows or use a dedicated screenshot tool.

     If pressing PrttScn opens Snip & Sketch, you can disable the shortcut:

    Disable Snip & Sketch shortcut in Settings:

    Go to Settings > Accessibility > Keyboard.
    Turn off Use the PrtScn button to open screen snipping.
