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.

    This might be related to a Window 11 upgrade, but this feature worked for me fro about a year after I switched to Windows 11 so it doesn't seem the change from Windows 10 to 11 was the issue.

    You can right click on the task bar setting and turn off widgets, chat, task view. The in taskbar behaviors make the alignment to say Left.

    tks. The tool worked fine until recently and I have been on windows 11 latest updates. I keep my machine updated because of security concerns. Hopefully, there will be a fix because I love the tool.

    Really? so are you saying the snip tool pops up automatically when you drag a screen shot? Right now I have to re-click the icon to get my screen shot to pull up again.

    This only happened because we had a work wide mandatory update from 10 to 11. It was fine before.

    I also contacted our IT team and they said MS think this is how snip tool should work now.. what. I think it's a flaw. Make taking screen shots that much longer.
