My Snip tool used to bring the image I captured in a pop up automatically, that I could edit when using the windows key & Ctrl S. It no longer does this? Is there a setting I need to change? I have to actually open the Snip Tool Menu to get this to work now. Not sure if some update was done by my IT people that changed this.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I am no longer getting what is being referred to as the toast popup in the lower right corner. If I want to save the snip as a jpg, I am having to paste it into a document, then select it, then select save as image. I can paste it, but I can't get anywhere that lets me just view it and save it. I don't mind having to click on the toast popup, but I'm not getting it any more.
Just to clarify, this is no longer an options with the new snipping tool. Microsoft has changed the way this works (at least this is what I understand from reading about this topic). The next best thing is to install the files from windows 10.
add snippingtool to C:\Windows\System32
and
snippingtool.exe.mui to C:\Windows\System32\en-us
This works perfectly.

I used channel AarohanTechSol.
*I have no affiliation with channel, I just stumbled across, and benefited from it.
then find Snipping Tool in the corresponding window
I can't find it and for some reason I'm unable to upload the screenshot, but I don't have an option in System > Notifications for snipping tool
Windows Settings > Apps > Installed Apps > Snipping Tool > Reset
The correct behavior of the snipping tool in Windows 11 should be that you:
- windows-shift-s
- drag a box
- you'll get a toast notification in the lower right with your screenshot and the screenshot will also be in your clipboard
- if you click the toast notification, it will open the snipping tool where you can save to disk, highlight, or draw
- if you don't click the toast notification, you can just paste (ctrl-v) anywhere that an image can be pasted (e.g., MS Word, Slack/Discord/Element, many websites, etc.)
If you find that the toast notification doesn't appear (step 3), then you are experiencing the bug reported here. It means the snipping tool has crashed/locked up and you'll need to manually kill it before you can take another screenshot. If you experience the above workflow, then that is the "working as intended" behavior of the snipping tool in Windows 11.
This is precisely my issue too. Yet, I'm the only person at my company with the issue. I have tried Terminate, Repair, Reset for the app, made all sorts of changes to Notifications and the Task bar. Nothing works.
This is pretty typical of my whole experience with Win11.... The processes that I had down to the fewest clicks and keystrokes in Win10 have now become extra cumbersome in Win11.
Sure would be nice if I could un-combine all my taskbar icons. I guess it doesn't matter if my workflow is hampered as long as Microsoft knows that my workspace meets their aesthetic requirements to look as close to other OS as possible.
