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'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.

    Bro, this doesn't make any sense to me as well but it works!!! Microsoft still has a lot to learn about software quality. There are so many glitches in Windows that are not tackled for years....

    What a PITA. The pop up notification just disappeared on me with an update maybe 2 years ago. I finally fixed after 3 hours of installing and uninstalling programs. I'm running Windows 10 Education on an old computer so this may be very YMMV but I had to install "Snipping Tool" AND "Snip and Sketch" "Snip and Sketch" allows for notifications in "Action Center" but with my build "Snipping Tool" does not. I think all you need is "Snip and Sketch" but I'm not experimenting with uninstalling "Snipping Tool".

    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 .
