Q Is there a way to stop the snipping tool from popping up when I take a screenshot?Hello,When I take a screenshot or a partial screenshot using the snipping tool, Windows Key + Shift + S there is a popup that comes up at the bottom right corner of my screen.

Cannot screenshot with Snipping Tool

Thanks for replying! I've done everything you suggested, but the issue still persists. To make it easier to troubleshoot, I've listed all the things I've tried so far.

System Model: OMEN Laptop 15-ek1xxx

Symptom: The Snipping Tool app opens as expected but when trying to take a screenshot by clicking on "New" inside the app or using its shortcuts (PrtSc or Windows + Shift + S), the cursor briefly changes to buffer and the app minimizes, but nothing happens.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken:

• Terminated Snipping Tool
  
• Repaired Snipping Tool
  
• Reset Snipping Tool
  
• Updated Windows and drivers
  
• Set time automatically
  
• Set time to October 30/31, 2021
  
• Enabled/disabled settings inside Snipping Tool
  
• Enabled delay and fullscreen options inside Snipping Tool
  
• Enabled notifications and priority notifications for Snipping Tool
  
• Changed Snipping Tool to run "Always" as a background app
  
• Enabled Clipboard History
  
• Enabled "use PrtSc to use Snipping Tool"
  
• Clicked on "New" inside Snipping Tool
  
• Used the PrtSc key and Windows + Shift + S shortcut
  
• Checked that the keyboard hardware is up to date and not faulty
  
• Pinned Snipping Tool to the taskbar
  

Advanced Troubleshooting Steps:

• Disabled "Do not allow Snipping Tool to run" in gpedit (Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Tablet PC > Accessories)
  
• Created the "DisableSnippingTool" key in registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\TabletPC) and set it to 0
  
• Created the "EnableSnippingTool" key in registry (Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\SnippingTool) and set it to 1
  
• Ran sfc/scannow
  
• Ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
  
• Restarted Windows Explorer
  
• Uninstalled and reinstalled Snipping Tool via PowerShell/cmd
  
• Perfomed a Clean Boot
  
• Created a new user profile
  

What I have not tried:

• Enabled App Permissions Picture on Snipping Tool (the option does not show on advanced options)
  
• Ran the Windows 11 Snipping Tool Directly from the "Windows.old" folder (I do not have Windows.old folder)
  
• Reset Windows

Snipping tool stop promping the screenshot after snipping

Not sure when it start but my snipping tool stop promping the screenshot after snipping. Specifically:

Before, when I snip and select the range, it will pop up the screenshot window immediately for me to edit;

Now, after I snip, there is no window pop up, instead it will keep in the thumbnail and I need to click to "open" it.

Just for example, as the frist picture below. It used to pop up the little window right after I snipping:





Now, after I snipping it not popping up but keep in the little icon, I have to click and open it.





I've also checked the notification setting. It is all as usual and I never touched those setting before.

All other function seems alright, it's just annoying. Please help.
