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.

    If anything doesn't work, check if 'Do Not Disturb' is enabled (System > Notifications). If yes, then turn it off. It should solve the problem.

    Solution:

    I had the same issue - the pop up appeared to markup the snip if I captured it using the "New" button, but not if I started the snipping tool with the shortcut keys Windows + Left Shift + S.

    I am using an external display, duplicating the laptop display to an external monitor.

    I noticed in my Notifications panel that Do Not Disturb was turned on, but I didn't turn it on and didn't want it on.

    I changed this setting and it resolved the issue:

    Settings > System > Notifications > Turn on Do Not Disturb Automatically > When duplicating your display (priority notification banners are also hidden) > UNCHECK THE BOX

    Now when I take a screenshot with Windows + Left Shift + S a pop-up appears at the bottom right and I can use the button "Markup and Share" to edit the screen shot.

    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.

    My problem is I am no longer getting the toast notification. I have to go through several steps to be able to get to the snip to save it as a jpg image.

    How do you change them back to look like Windows 10?
