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.

    For anyone still experiencing this, I appear to have resolved it (for now at least, I haven't rebooted yet). Open the Snipping Tool from the Windows screen icon (i.e. not Windows key-Shift-S). Then click on the 3 dots at top right (when you mouse over, it says See More). Click on Settings. In my list the second option Automatically save screenshots was set to ON. Change the setting to OFF. Now when I use the Windows key-Shift-S, the screen grab remains on screen and allows me to edit it.

    Those auto-saved screenshots were being stored in (in my case) the One Drive-->Pictures-->Screenshots folder which I can now cleanup as I wasn't aware they were being saved somewhere, since MS didn't tell us about the change of behaviour.

    Hope this helps

    PS I tried to submit a screenshot of the settings menu but it failed to update !!!

    Stop press! My Windows 11 laptop has just updated itself to Build 22631.3672 and, wouldn't you know it, the original problem I posted here some months back has returned!
    Namely, after right-clicking the taskbar shortcut and clicking "Take a new snip", the editor window didn't appear automatically. Instead the notification appears which I then had to click to make the editor window appear.

    I was indebted to Jasell's post (page 12 of this forum) of October 28, 2023 which suggested the default app for "MS-SCREENCLIP" (in Default Apps, go to "Screen Snipping") needed to be set to "Screen Snipping" rather than "Snipping Tool" for some reason that is beyond me.

    I've just done this again to get the behaviour back to the way I want it and as it always was in Windows 10 Snip & Sketch. The Snipping Tool by the way has also updated to version11.2404.40.0.

    These instructions worked for me. It also worked to turn off "Automatically save screenshots" in the Snipping Tool Settings.

    AHA!!! I found an answer that worked for me! I turned off the "automatically save screenshots" option in the Snipping Tool settings -- and voila! The notifications are back!
