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.

    I reset the Snipping tool several times and it has made no difference. Why am I faffing about with this when Snip & Sketch worked flawlessly on Windows 10. It's very irritating when something that works exceptionally well like Windows 10 is messed with in the name of improvement.

    What is the fix? Resetting the app didn't work for me.

    I want to have access to Snip & Sketch as that works perfectly for me on Windows 10,

    I want the snip to pop up as soon as the snip is taken. I used Snip & Sketch in Windows 10 and that worked superbly, and it was very fast. It's not in the Windows APP Store or the Google one.

    ?What is a toast notification?

    This will fix your problems.

    add snippingtool to C:\Windows\System32

    and

    snippingtool.exe.mui to C:\Windows\System32\en-us

    This works perfectly.

    I used channel AarohanTechSol.

    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.
