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 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.

    Thanks! This is the correct answer. I also had "Snipping Tool" as the default and after changing the default to "Screen Snipping" I can again open the screenshot from the notification.

    Thanks Jasell for your response! Yes, the ctrl V works... However I have still not been able to figure out how to open it in a new Snipping tool window... If I delay in copying the image immediately.... (which happens in trainings)...the image disappears in the notification bar and then I have to use the mouse... I usually choose to use the keyboard as much as possible... I too have 3 screens.. I use the keyboard to navigate between all three! So when I working on content development (mostly theory) - I use the mouse very rarely!

    I can always use the mouse.. but I would prefer my old setting where after snipping, the new window opens up automatically.

    Hi there, I think I solved it:

    Go to Accessibility - Scroll down to Interaction - choose Keyboard - Scroll down to On-Screen Keyboard, access keys & Print Screen.

    The last option in that section is Use the Print Screen button to open screen snipping - change this option to ON.

    This should solve the problem =)

    (I tried to attach a screenshot of the setting - but the upload kept failing, sorry)
