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.

    Step 2 fails. There is no longer an option for what to select, the whole screen gets selected.

    This response does not address the issue. It should be downvoted. This is a classic response by someone who just wants to get their name out there. We are talking about the POPUP not the notification.

    For some reason the clicking on the notification fails to execute the editing tool for the snip... This is the pop up that allows the user to interact with the snip. Is it a loss of the editor? I noticed in the Clipboard Cupboard (windows Key + V) the clicking the saved image won't also pop up an editor for the snip.

    Something got detached and I can't figure what or why.

    I have done a couple work arounds since people who develop the software refuse to fix the bugs:

    1. Have an editor open like Paint.net... You can paste into the editor and use it somewhat like the snipping tool is supposed to work.
    2. You can set the .png files to default open with the snipping tool. This is allows you to ope the folder where the snips are automatically saved (if you have that setting toggled) then double click the image to bring up the image in the snip editor.

    I've been using the Snippet Tool since 2019 and it's worked fine for me.

    The app works fine in every aspect, it just doesn't stay in the foreground like it used to before they introduced screen recording and despite what people say, there's no fix for it.

    Snips are automatically saved to Pictures > Screenshots and videos to Videos > Captures
