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

I had a problem where the snipping tool would open, let me take the snip, but then no longer showed me the pop-up allowing me to highlight / edit / crop it.

I fixed it as follows:

• Start > All Apps > Scroll down to snipping tool
• right-click on snipping tool > More > App Settings
• click on "set Default apps"
• scroll down to Snipping Tool and click on it
• scroll down to the section that says "MS-SCREENSKETCH" and click on it
• select the option that says snipping tool and that has the snipping tool icon
• click "Set Default"
• close window
• restart snipping tool

Now whenever I take a snip the window to edit, highlight, crop is available by clicking the snip icon on the task bar.

Really? so are you saying the snip tool pops up automatically when you drag a screen shot? Right now I have to re-click the icon to get my screen shot to pull up again.

This only happened because we had a work wide mandatory update from 10 to 11. It was fine before.

I also contacted our IT team and they said MS think this is how snip tool should work now.. what. I think it's a flaw. Make taking screen shots that much longer.

The correct behavior of the snipping tool in Windows 11 should be that you:

1. windows-shift-s
2. drag a box
3. you'll get a toast notification in the lower right with your screenshot and the screenshot will also be in your clipboard
4. if you click the toast notification, it will open the snipping tool where you can save to disk, highlight, or draw
5. 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.

Yes, need this snipping tool fixed asap. It make things harder on users not easier after I upgraded to Windows 11. Many features are just cometic and doesn't enhance performance. I ended up changing them back to look like windows 10.

Utter garbage. Screenshot should automatically pop up after taking it... at least have it be an option for the people that got used to it in previous versions.

I am always current on my Windows updates but the issue still exists for me.
