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've also tried switching around all kinds of notification settings, reparing and resetting the snipping tool, but nothing seems to help.

    It works fine when using the shortcut Shift + Win + S, but I usually start the tool by clicking its icon in my task bar because that's quicker when my hands aren't on the keyboard and I'm mostly working with my mouse. When using this method, there is no notification and the snipping tool hides in the background after taking a screenshot so I have to click on it again every time in order to edit or save the screenshot. Really annoying.

    I just found a fix to this that worked for me.

    Go to Settings> Apps > Installed Apps > Snipping Tool

    Then Reset.

    After this it started working normally.

    This one fixed the issue!!

    EDIT: this worked ONE time and then it went back to being minimized after a screen shot again. gave up and use different snipping tool now.

    Hi ALL,

    I had the same issue after a company wide update.

    All I did was re-download the snipping tool with the scissors and red dots from microsoft and now the pop-up appears when I take a snip using Shift + windows + S

    Hooray!

    BINGO - I have been waiting over a year for a solution and you win. Thanks this makes my life easier.
