Why does my snipping tool no longer bring up the pop up image to edit?

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.

    I just had this issue on my new laptop. And was able to fix it by installing the Microsoft snipping tool. Even though I was able to snip previously using Shift+Windows+S but didnt see any notification and it was just copied to my clipboard.

    Hope this Helps!

    I scanned through this thread and then realized - my focus assist was on!
    While on, the popups stop popping up.
    I turned the focus assist off. Now when I snip the screenshot, my snips pop up again. Hope this helps someone else.

    Correct, this is the actual fix we're all looking for. Fixed it today after a year of the issue.

    Open snipping tool, go to settings, turn OFF “Auto Save screenshots”

    I really hate that my solution (and the only thing that works for me) is the exact opposite (that is, turning auto-save screenshots ON), but c'est la vie.

    I figured out the problem, at least for my machine. The settings in the app have "Automatically save screenshots" on by default. This saves the screenshots to a folder on your computer. When I turned that off, the screenshots started popping up in the notification menu again!
