Windows 10: Clicked on "save" option instead of "save a copy " in photos app. But I am unable to...

I ended up editing a photo, instead of saving a copy of it on windows using "save a copy" option clicked on "save" option now the edited image replaced my original image . Is there any way to retain my original image? when I am going through the pictures the original image flashes for a fraction of second and then the edited image is displaced. I do not have any back Up drive and I no previous version of the image are being shown.

Photos: Try Saving a copy instead

I have been using Photos App to edit my photos and then during one session, when I tried to save my edits, I got the message "Try saving a copy instead". So, I clicked the "Save a Copy" button and it still gave me the same error.

It is strange that I just edited and able to save a couple of pictures before I got that error.

I checked my permissions and I have full control.

 

Windows Photos App "Save" instead of "Save a Copy" as the default

I would like to know how to change my Microsoft Photos App to save video trims with "Save as" instead of "Saving a copy"
If this cannot be done, please explain why.

 

Unable to save an edited (cropped) photo

All of a sudden, when I crop a photo in the windows photo editing app ("edit and crop"), the option to "save" is greyed out and the only option is save a copy - fine, but when I click "save a copy" it saves the original photo without the edits. This never happened in the past, and I am now unable to save any edits to my photo. What's going on?
