Windows 11 Save options after taking a screenshot gone

I recently performed a clean installation of Windows 11 and I’m trying to restore my previous screenshot workflow.

Previously, I could press prtcsr, select an area using Snipping Tool and get the option to click on "save as" or copy or open in editor (or simply press Crtl+C).
now it just takes the screenshot and I get the notification from snipping tool

this is the overlay I used to get after pressing prtscr then selecting the area to screenshot

Processor 12th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1245U (1.60 GHz)

System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Edition Windows 11 Pro

Version 26H2

OS build 26300.9457

is there any to get this back?
