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.

    Microsoft says to report it in the Microsoft Hub from where their developers decide which problems or suggestions they should address. You can also vote on other suggestions/problems to give others a better chance of having their problems sorted. Others can vote on your suggestion.

    I'm sorry to report that the Default only worked for that session, when I logged off and returned the next day the Snip no longer popped up. I may try one of the other Snipping apps. I have reported this problem in the Microsoft Hub and also the fact that I can't lock the Taskbar.

    This is really annoying (well not as annoying as living in a war zone), but I used to take a snip of the screen and the snipping tool would stay on top so I could cut and paste or edit the snip. Now the tool goes behind the other apps and I have to click on it in the task bar to get it back on the screen. None of the suggested fixes have changed anything. Come on Microsoft!

    Also, when are you going to add autoscroll to Word and sort out the styles and number issues ;)

    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.

    OMGGGGG Thank you this worked I am going to tag this in another post.

    When I first did it nothing worked, my mistake was that I had snippet open while doing the steps then closed it.

    The second time I tried it I add in clicking on the terminate option in snippet then followed the next step of:

    scroll down to the section that says "MS-SCREENSKETCH" and click on it

    etc.
