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

I echo what others are experiencing where once you have snipped an item it does not automatically pop up as it used to. You have to click on the app below to then get to what you captured.

The only solution I have found is to right click on the snipping app pinned to your task bar and select "Take a new screen shot."

When I take a screen shot that way, it then pops up automatically.

Agreed, this is annoying once we were all used to the way it used to operate.

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.

Kia ora - Hello i just had the same problem and figured it out just tonight, here is what i done:

Click on your time/calendar in the bottom right corner

Go to Notifications

Turn ON notifications from other apps and senders

Mine was OFF hence why my snipping pop up wasn't popping up lol hope it helps

I found one solution.

This may not be the case for you but I had the same problem and the cause was this: I had focus assist on.

Even though the notifications were toggled on and everything seemed normal, I wasn't getting pop up notifications for anything. Then I noticed a little moon symbol next to the action center button. Right click on the action center button, you will see "focus assist" if it's on, try turning it off. That might be your solution!

I apologize if this is off-topic but I am finally able to get back in!

I had to reinstall my MS 365 again for the maybe 3rd time? This time I got my snipping tool back the way it was originally.

Shift +Windows + S.

Tool pops up with a sound.

I click on it.

Save it.

I know there's a glitch in MS 365 that obviously hasn't been remedied. Also, if I "X" out of the app, I have to start over. So I never X out. It's a pain but at least I have access toy emails. Very important rn.

I turned off the "Automatically Save Screenshots" option in the snipping tool settings and then the pop up of the snip I just made started showing up. I turned the auto save back on and the pop ups went away. I am thinking that since it is already "saving" the snips somewhere it decides to not let it pop up.

This worked for me and has resolved the issue of the New Screen shot not appearing in a new window.

I have turned OFF "Automatically Save Screenshots" option in the snipping tool settings and it now brings up a window with the new Screenshot, ready for editing, saving or copying.

Perfect

Thank you
