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 no idea why, Anita Fenlon, a screenshot should be huge - mine average about 80KB for JPGs. In any case, the editor window can certainly be persuaded to pop up automatically after taking a screenshot if you follow my fix for Windows 11 concerning 'Default Apps' sent on November 14th. i.e., Settings -> Apps-> Default Apps-> 'Screen Snipping'. Then make "Screen Snipping" the default app for MS-SCREENCLIP instead of "Snipping Tool" - this doesn't make sense to me but it works.
I don't see it at all can only paste it and it is Huge
Make sure do not disturb is off and notifications are on
I'm not sure that Windows key + Shift + "S" ever autocratically put up the editor window at least in my experience and to the best of my recollection. But I definitely wanted the editor window to appear after a right-click on the Snipping Tool taskbar icon (in Win 11) and when this only resulted in a notification I found it annoying. The fix for this (which I've had to apply more than once thanks to Windows updates undoing it) is via Apps-> Default Apps-> Screen Snipping, switching "Snipping Tool" off and making "Screen Snipping" instead the default app for MS-SCREENCLIP .
It's a good point Boo Nagatsuka, but in my case I've never enabled Focus Assist. I think whenever I've used the Windows key + Shift + "S", a notification always popped up for me and if I clicked "Select here to mark up and share the image" I could edit it if I liked or ignore or dismiss it and just paste ti somewhere a little later on. (Actually in Win 11 right now the notification did pop up even with Focus Assist enabled and in Win 10 it doesn't pop up only if 'Alarms only' is enabled). My gripe was that if I right-clicked the Snipping Tool taskbar icon (in Win 11) and clicked "Take a a new screenshot" I expected the editor window to appear instead of a notification (because it would then be superfluous) and when I only got the notification with no editor window I became a little irritated that it wasn't behaving as I was used to it behaving particularly in Win 10.
The fix as I've detailed earlier is in Apps-> Default Apps-> Screen Snipping switching Snipping Tool off and making "Screen Snipping" the default app for MS-SCREENCLIP - the logic still eludes me but it works. Annoyingly (as you've found with Focus Assist) Microsoft sometimes switch this back so I now know the sequence very well.
